CPR Quiz

What ratio for compressions to breaths should be used for 1-rescuer infant CPR?

• Give 5 compressions to 1 breath

• Give 15 compressions to 1 breath

• Give 20 compressions to 2 breaths

• Give 30 compressions to 2 breaths

What should you do if you need to use an AED on someone who has been submerged in water?

• Pull the person out of the water, but do not use the AED

• Do not pull the person out of the water, and wipe the chest

• Pull the person out of the water, and wipe the chest

Use this scenario to answer the next 2 questions: A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response system by using his mobile device. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers immediately arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt. What actions should occur next to support a team-based resuscitation attempt?

• Two rescuers should operate the AED while the third rescuer gives breaths

• One rescuer should give CPR while the other 2 wait for advanced life support to arrive

• Two rescuers should alternate giving high-quality chest compressions

• Two rescuers should alternate using the AED and giving breaths

Use this scenario to answer the next 2 questions: A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response system by using his mobile device. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers immediately arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt. Two rescuers begin high-quality CPR while the third rescuer leaves to get the AED. What action supports 2-rescuer CPR?

• Alternating giving rescue breaths every 3 cycles

• Alternating the compressor role every 2 minutes

• Alternating the AED role every 2 minutes

• Alternating giving shocks every 3 cycles

You witness someone suddenly collapse. The person is unresponsive, you hear gasping sounds, and there is no pulse. You phone 9-1-1. What should you do next?

• Begin CPR; the gasps are not normal breathing

• Begin CPR even though gasping is normal breathing

• Monitor the patient; the gasps are considered normal breathing

• Give rescue breaths only; the gasps are not normal breathing

Why is defibrillation important?

• There is a 100% success rate

• It is not important for cardiac arrest

• I t prevents rearrest from occurring

• It can restore a regualr cardiac rhythm

Use this scenario to answer the next 2 questions: A middle-aged man collapses. You and a second rescuer go to the victim and find that he is unresponsive, is not breathing, and does not have a pulse. Which action is most likely to positively impact his survival?

• Performing high-quality CPR

• Checking the pulse frequently

• Providing rescue breaths

• Ensuring scene safety

You and another rescuer begin CPR. After a few cycles, you notice the chest compression rate is slowing. What should you say to offer constructive feedback?

• "You need to compress at a rate of at least 100 per minute."

• "You need to compress at a rate of at least 120 per minute."

• "You need to compress at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute."

• "You need to compress at a rate of 80 to 120 per minute."

Early defibrillation is a link in the adult Chain of Survival. Why is this important to survival?

• It provides normal respiration.

• It prevents respiratory arrest.

• It prevents cardiac arrest.

• It eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm.

What special circumstance should a rescuer consider when using an AED?

• They should never remove a transdermal medication patch before applying AED pads.

• On a hairy chest, the pads may not stick and may fail to deliver a shock.

• They should never use an AED on someone with an implanted pacemaker.

• AEDs can only be used while a person is submerged in water.
