Based on AHA, pulse check was used to identify pulseless patients in cardiac arrest who required chest compression. Cardiac arrest was presumed to be present and chest compressions were initiated. If the rescuer failed to detect a pulse for many seconds in an unresponsive nonbreathing victim?

• 5 to 10 seconds

• less than 5 seconds

• more than 10 seconds

According to AHA, the pulse check has been the “gold standard” usually relied on by professional rescuers to evaluate circulation. In checking for adults and children, what artery is recommended?

• apical pulse

• carotid artery

• brachial artery

• dorsalis pedis

• apical pulse

In out-of-hospital arrest, the Current AHA guidelines instruct the rescuer to provide approximately 1 minute of CPR. In the International Guidelines 2000, the “phone first” sequence of resuscitation is recommended for?

• children 8 y/o or more and adults

• Children less than 8 y/o and adolescent

• children less than 7 y/o
