Pre-Test :)

A victim with a foreign-body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive. What is your first course of action?

• Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions

• Roll the victim over and perform back blows

• Perform abdominal thrusts

• Perform blind finger sweeps

How can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective breaths when using a bag-mask device?

• Always having oxygen attached to the bag

• Delivering breaths quickly and forcefully

• Observing the chest rise with each breath

• Allowing air to release around the mask

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

• "You aren't doing it right, just let me do it"

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

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

• "It looks like you're getting tired, remember to compress at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute, after this cycle, I can give you a break and switch"

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

• Leave them in the water

• Pull them out of the water and wipe the chest

• Don't use an AED

• Put them on a floatie in the water & then use the AED

If someone has a pace maker can I still use an AED?

• yes, just move down an inch

• no.

What is the avg rate for compressions and breaths?

• 20 compressions to 2 breaths

• 5 compressions to 1 breath

• 15 compressions to 2 breaths

• 30 compressions to 2 breaths

After the AED pads are attached to the person, the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step when using an AED?

• Press the shock button

• Follow the AED prompts

• Check for carotid pulse

• Clear the patient

When the AED arrives, what is the first step for using it?

• Apply the pads to the chest

• Clear the patient

• Turn on the AED

• Press the shock button

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

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

• Monitor the patient; the gasps are considered normal breathing

• Begin CPR even though gasping is normal breathing

Which adult victim requires high-quality CPR?

• Has normal breathing & pulse

• Has a pulse and is having trouble breathing

• Has no normal breathing and no pulse
