You are first to the scene and you find an unresponsive person who is not breathing and has thrown up. You feel full CPR is not something you are comfortable giving them. What would be the next best thing for you to do?

• chest compression only CPR

• go and get help

• do not start CPR

If you are alone and come upon a person who may need CPR, the first thing you should do is:

• activate the emergency response system

• go for an AED

• make sure the scene is safe

Why is defibrillation important? 

• It prevents rearrest from occurring
• There is a 100% success rate in regaining a normal cardiac rhythm
• It can restore a regular cardiac rythm

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

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
