Rescue Breathing and CPR

How long should each rescue breath take?

• 3 seconds

• 1 minute

• 1 second

• one half minute

The purpose of the head tilt/chin lift is to

• prevent choking
• open the airway
• prevent vomiting
• prevent neck injury

You will know if your technique for giving rescue breaths is successful because

• the victim will begin breathing on their own
• you will no longer need to pinch the nose closed
• the chest will rise
• all of the above

The proper chest compression rate for an adult when performing CPR is:

• A range between 75-95 chest compressions a minute

• A rate of about 100 chest compressions a minute

• A rate of about 110-120 chest compressions a minute

• A rate not to exceed 130 chest compressions every 5-cycles

Rescue breathing is given to adults at the rate of:

• 1 breath every 10 seconds

• 1 breath every 5 seconds

• 1 breath every 3 seconds

• 2 breaths every 5 seconds

When checking for a pulse on a guest:

• Locate the carotid artery in the neck for all age groups. The pulse should be checked for up to 10 seconds

• Locate the brachial artery in the arm for all age groups. The pulse should be checked for up to 10 seconds

• Try the carotid artery for 10 seconds, if no pulse is found check the brachial artery for an additional 10 seconds, just to be sure

• Locate the carotid artery in the neck for adults and children. Locate the brachial artery in the arm for infants. Check pulse for up to 10 seconds

The correct ratio of chest compressions to breaths when providing one-rescuer CPR to a child is:

• 20 chest compressions to 2 breaths

• 30 chest compressions to 5 breaths

• 5 cycles to 30 chest compressions

• 30 chest compressions to 2 breaths

You are performing rescue breathing when a ventilation you deliver does not cause the chest to rise and fall. What is the next step?

• Re-position the guest's head and the resuscitation mask, then try the ventilation again

• Immediately shift to abdominal thrusts and perform thrusts until the object is dislodged

• Sit the guest upright and administer back blows until the object is dislodged

• Perform a finger sweep and then attempt to ventilate again
