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 she is not breathing. What should you do next?

• Begin the next set of compressions immediately.

• take a bigger breath and blow much harder for the 2nd breath

What is the primary goal of CPR?

• Provide blood and oxygen to vital organs.

• Provide needed nutrients to the organs.
