CPR/First Aid Chapter 1/2 Review

How should you check to see if an adult victim is conscious or not?

• Tap them on the shoulder

• Tap them on the bottom of their foot

• Call 9-1-1

• Put them in recovery position and wait to see if they are breathing

The following are all life-threatening conditions except:

• Unconsciousness

• No breathing or trouble breathing

• Dizziness

• Severe bleeding

To obtain a victim's consent to give care, you must tell the victim

• Your level of training

• Your age

• Your Knowledge

• Your job

What is the purpose of Good Samaritan Laws?

• To discourage people from helping others in an emergency situation

• To help protect people who voluntarily give care without accepting anything in return

• To protect people who give care beyond their level of training

• None of the above

A person is responsive and showing signs and symptoms of a life-threatening condition but does not consent to care. What should you do?

• Give care; consent is not necessary if the person is responsive and has signs or symptoms of a life-threatening condition

• Do not give care and advise the person to seek medical attention immediately

• Give care and call 9-1-1 or the designated number

• Do not give care but instead call 9-1-1 or the designated emergency number

The steps to follow in an emergency are:

• Check-Call-Care

• Call-Check-Secure

• Care-Call-Check

• Check-Care-Defibrillate

In which situation should you call 9-1-1 or the designated emergency number?

• All of the answers

• The person is having persistent chest pain

• The person is having trouble breathing

• The person is unresponsive

Safety measures you can use to prevent disease transmission include-

• Wiping up a blood spill with a paper towel & placing the paper towel in the nearest wastebasket

• Calling 9-1-1 or the local emergency number

• Using personal protective equipment such as disposable gloves

• Monitoring the victim until EMS personnel arrive

When conducting a SAMPLE interview, ask the person about all of the following except;

• What was happening and what the person was doing just prior to when he or she began to fell ill or was injured

• What the person's age is

• Whether the person has any allergies or medical conditions

• When the person last had something to eat or drink

You see a woman collapse in front of you while entering the lobby of your office building. You check her for responsiveness, but she does not respond and is not breathing. What should you do next?

• Have someone else call 9-1-1 or the designated emergency number and get an AED and a first aid kit while you begin CPR

• Size up the scene

• Put the woman in the recovery position

• Give two rescue breaths
