You are walking down the canned meat aisle in HEB when an elderly woman collapses in front of you. You are the only other person on the aisle, and the woman is lying motionless on the floor.
What is the first action you should take in this situation?
Activate the Emergency Response System.
Start providing rescue breaths.
Verify that the scene is safe for you and the victim.
Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions.
The scene is safe, no hazards are present. You tap the woman on the shoulder and ask, "Are you ok?" She does not respond.
What action should you take next?
Check her pulse.
Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions.
Start providing rescue breaths.
Shout for nearby help.
You've called out for help. What do you do next?
Check the victim for breathing and a pulse.
Begin chest compressions on the victim.
Begin providing rescue breaths to the victim.
Resume shopping.
A worker and two shoppers arrive in response to your call for help. What do you tell them?
"You should try this new organic Spam."
"Call your manager STAT!"
"Activate the emergency response system and retrieve the AED."
"Can I still use this expired coupon?"
The victim has no pulse and does not appear to be breathing. The worker has gone to retrieve the AED.
What is the next action you should take?
Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions.
Monitor the victim until additional help arrives.

What is the appropriate rate for chest compressions when providing CPR to an adult?
60-80 compressions per minute
80-100 compressions per minute
100-120 compressions per minute
120-140 compressions per minute
What is the appropriate compression depth when providing CPR to an adult?
less than one inch

3-4 inches
At the end of each compression, always allow the chest to recoil completely.
True
False
One of the shoppers at the scene is BLS-certified. He kneels down next to the victim's body, opposite to you, and offers to begin chest compressions.
How often should you rotate compressors during CPR?
every 60 seconds
every 2 minutes, or more frequently if necessary to avoid fatigue
every 5 minutes
never, unless extremely fatigued
You recall reading in your BLS training manual that "a CCF of at least 60% increases the likelihood of ROSC."
CCF represents the proportion of time that rescuers perform chest compressions during CPR. What does 'CCF' stand for?
chest compression fraction
cardiovascular circulatory force
chest compression force
cardiovascular circulatory fraction
ROSC has occurred when a victim of cardiac arrest resumes a sustained heartbeat that produces palpable pulses.
What does 'ROSC' stand for?
renewal of officially sponsored certification
risk of spontaneous collapse
resolved outward signs of circulation
return of spontaneous circulation
AEDs can identify an abnormal heart rhythm and then deliver a shock to the heart, potentially stopping the abnormal rhythm and enabling the heart's normal rhythm to return.
What does 'AED' stand for?
automated external device
anterior external defibrillator
automated external defibrillator
anterior external device
What is the medical term for interrupting or stopping an abnormal heart rhythm by using controlled electrical shocks?
defibrillation
fibrillation
liquefaction
decortication
irregular heart rhythm
bradycardia
arrhythmia
tachycardia
irrhythmia
The worker returns with the AED.
True or False: the AED will work if you place the pads on top of the patient's clothing.
True
False
After opening the AED and powering it on, you proceed to place the pads on the victim's bare skin. What should the other rescuer do while you are doing this?
provide some privacy for the victim
give rescue breaths to the victim
inspect the AED for damage
continue performing chest compressions
After properly applying the AED pads, you must ________ the victim.
"hold"
"count"
"love"
"clear"
The AED analyzes the victim's rhythm and advises a shock. You clear the victim, and the shock is delivered. What do you immediately following the shock?
Step back and wait to see if the victim regains consciousness.
Resume CPR, starting with chest compressions.
Check the victim's pulse.
Wait for EMS to arrive.
