CPR

To give chest compressions to an adult, your hands should be placed

• In the middle of the chest along the breastbone

• just above the collarbone

• on either side of the rib cage

• on the lower tip of the breastbone

How should you care for a responsive infant who is choking and cannot cough, cry, or breathe?

• Give abdominal thrusts

• give back blows and chest thrusts to clear the airway

• give back blows until the infants starts to cry

• open the infants mouth and clear the airway

Care for a person who is unresponsive and has a blocked airway includes:

• giving chest compressions

• looking for an object between compressions and breaths

• pressing on the person's abdomen about 5 inches deppe

• Both A and B

When giving a rescue breath, you should:

• blow hard and fast

• blow harder if the chest does not rise

• blow in for about 1 second and make the chest clearly rise

• give a breath that lasts for several seconds

What care should you give to a responsive adult or child who is choking and cannot cough, speak, or breathe?

• do a foreign object check/removal

• give 2 slow rescue breaths

• give back blows and abdominal thrusts

• lower the person to the floor and open the airway

about how many seconds should you check for breathing?

• at least 5 but no more than 10 seconds

• at least 10 seconds but no more than 15

• no more than 5 seconds

• at least 15 seconds

Effective chest compressions

• allows the chest to return to its normal position

• are delivered fast at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute

• are smooth, regular, and given straight up and down

• all of the above

A cycle of chest compressions and rescue breaths in CPR is

• 15 chest compressions to 1 rescue breath

• 15 chest compressions to 3 breaths

• 30 chest compressions to 1 rescue breath

• 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths

If during the second analysis, the AED prompts "no shock advised", you should?

• check the pad placement on the person's chest

• reset the AED by turning it off for 10 seconds

• resume CPR until the AED reanalyzes or you find an obvious sign of life

• unplug the connector from the machine

Why is it important to stand clear and not touch the person while the AED is analyzing or defibrillating

• The AED will turn itself off

• You or someone else could be injured by the shock

• you might prevent the AED from analyzing the heart rhythm properly

• both B and C
