CPR Knowledge Worksheet

What does CPR stand for?

• Cardiac Pressure Resuscitation

• Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

• Circulatory Pulmonary Rescue

• Cardio Pulse Recovery

What is the primary goal of CPR?

• To restart the heart

• To prevent brain damage

• To increase blood pressure

• To reduce pain

Recommended chest compression rate for adults is:

• 60–80/min

• 80–100/min

• 100–120/min

• 120–140/min

Depth of chest compressions in adults should be:

• At least 1 inch

• At least 2 inches

• Less than 1 inch

• More than 3 inches

Compression-to-ventilation ratio for single-rescuer adult CPR is:

• 15:2

• 30:2

• 20:2

• 10:1

First step in BLS for an unresponsive person is:

• Check pulse

• Start compressions

• Call for help

• Give rescue breaths

Cardiac arrest is identified by:

• Slow breathing

• No pulse and no breathing

• High blood pressure

• Dilated pupils

Early defibrillation is important because:

• It prevents stroke

• It improves survival chances

• It reduces pain

• It increases oxygen saturation

Signs of effective chest compressions include:

• Audible gasping

• Chest recoil

• Sweating

• Cyanosis

CPR should be discontinued when:

• The patient is unconscious

• AED arrives

• Signs of life return

• EMS is called
