CPR- Test

1.     Compressions for an adult cardiac arrest victim are most effective when you push

• at a rate of 80-100 compressions per minute and at a depth of 1 ½ inches.

• at a rate of 60-80 compressions per minute and at a depth of 2 inches.

• at a rate of at least 100-120 compressions per minute at a depth of at least 2 inches.

1.     When giving breaths, you can tell enough air is going in if you

•   see the chest rise.

• see the person start to breathe

• see the person start to blink.

• see the person start to respond

   Once you’ve started giving compressions and breaths, you should keep going until

 

• you collapse and need medical attention.

• you get tired and do compressions incorrectly.

• the AED arrives, the person responds, or someone with more advanced training takes over.

• you decide that CPR has been performed long enough.

  To open the airway, you should

• use both hands on the forehead when tilting the head back.

• tilt the head and lift the chin.

• place one hand on the forehead and one hand on the neck before tilting the head back.

• press on the soft part of the neck.

   When giving breaths during CPR, you should

• not pinch the nose closed

• watch for the person’s chest to rise

•   tilt the person’s head back as far as possible.

• give 2 breaths lasting 2 seconds each.

    Which of the following is true?

• A mask should cover both the eyes and the nose.

• Masks are not useful.

• You should ignore extra parts of the mask.  They are not needed

• You should be sure that the mask makes an airtight seal against the person’s face.

     You are giving sets of 30 compressions and 2 breaths.  A bystander arrives with an AED.  What should you do next?

• You should finish whichever set of 30 compressions and 2 breaths that you are working on.

• You should immediately begin using the AED.

• You should first make sure someone has phoned 911.

• You should put a blanket on the person receiving CPR

    To check for a response from an infant, the rescuer should

• loudly shout the infant’s name to wake the infant.

• firmly tap the infant’s shoulders to wake the infant.

• softly speak the infant’s name to not scare the infant.

• tap the infant’s foot and shout the infant’s name.

     You are doing CPR on a child when someone arrives with the AED.  The AED doesn’t have child pads.  You should

• use the adult pads, making sure they do not touch each other.

• decide not to use the AED because the pads are only for adults.

• stop CPR because it will not help anyway.

• make sure to place the AED pads over the clothing to reduce the shock.

1.     In the school cafeteria you see an English teacher grab his chest and fall suddenly to the ground. The scene is safe, and you rush to his side. What is the first step in your assessment of him?

• Tell someone to phone 911

• Gently tap or shake his shoulders and shout “Are you OK?” to determine if he is responsive.

• Check for signs of breathing.
