A victim with a foreign body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive. What do you do first?
Start CPR, begin 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?
Observe the chest rise with each breath
Always having oxygen attached to the bag
Delivering breaths quickly and forcefully
Allowing air to release around the mask
Which characteristics of chest compressions in high quality CPR are given to a child?
At least 1/3 the depth of the chest, approx 2 inches
At least 1/2 the depth of the chest, approx 3 inches
At least 2/3 the depth of the chest, approx 4 inches
At least 1/4 the depth of the chest, approx 1 1/2 inches
Which adult victim requires high-quality CPR?
Has normal breathing and has a pulse
Has no normal breathing and no pulse
Has a pulse and is having trouble breathing
Has a strong pulse and is breathing
You witness someone suddenly collapse. The person is unresponsive, you hear gasping sounds, and there is no pulse. You call 911. What do you do next?
Begin CPR even though gasping is normal breathing
Monitor the patient; gasping is normal breathing
Begin CPR, the gasps are not normal breathing
Give rescue breaths only; the gasps are not normal breathing
A 53-year old women collapses while gardening. She is unresponsive and is not breathing. She does not have a pulse. A neighbor who is an EMT rushes to her with an AED. What is the first step for using the AED?
Apply pads to the chest
Clear the patient
Turn on the AED
Press the shock button
After the AED pads are attached to the person, the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step of using the AED?
Press the shock button
Follow the AED prompts
Check for carotid pulse
Clear the patient
What ratio for compressions to breaths should be used for 1-rescuer infant CPR?
20 compressions to 2 breaths
5 compressions to 1 breath
15 compressions to 2 breaths
30 compressions to 2 breath
What special circumstance should a rescuer consider when using an AED?
AEDs can only be used while a person is submerged in water.
On a hairy chest, the pads may not stick and may fail to deliver a shock.
They should never remove a transdermal medication patch before applying AED pads
They should never use an AED on someone with an implanted pacemaker
Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR?
There will be a reduction of rescuer fatigue
The rate of chest compressions will increase
The heart will adequately refill between compressions
It will reduce the risk of rib fractures.
What should you do if you need to use an AED on someon who has been submerged in water?
Pull the person out of the water, but do not use the AED
Do not move the person, and do not use the AED
Pull the person out of the water and wipe the chest
Do not pull the person out of the water and whipe the chest
A middle-aged man collapses. You and a second rescuer go to the victimand find that he is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no pulse.
What action is most likely to positively impact his survival?
Performing high-quality CPR
Ensuring scene safety
Checking the pulse frequently
Providing rescue breaths
A middle-aged man collapses. You and a second rescuer go to the victimand find that he is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no pulse.
You and another rescuer begin CPR. After a few cycles you noticed chest compression rate is slowing. What should you say to offer constructive feedback?
You need to compress at a rate of 80 to 120 per min
You need to compress at a rate of at least 100 per min
You need to compress at a rate of 100-120 per min
You need to compress at a rate of at least 120 per min
A 67-year old man is found unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse. You and another rescuer begin high-quality CPR. When should the rescuer switch positions during CPR?
Never switch rescuers
When placing the AED pads
About every 2 minutes
At 5 minute intervals
You notice the person giving chest conpressions is not allowing for complete chest recoil. What is your next course of action?
Stand back and await directions from the second rescuer
Tell the rescuer the compressions are wrong
Immediately take over chest compressions
Tell the compressor you notice decreased chest recoil
You have determined that the infant is responsive and choking with a severe airway obstruction. How do you relieve the airway obstruction?
Give abdominal thrusts
Give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts
Encourage the infant to cough
Begin 2 thumb-encircling hands chest compressions
The infant becomes unresponsive. Which action do you perform to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant?
Perform CPR, looking in the mouth for the object before you give each breath
Attempt to blind finger sweep when giving breaths to remove the obstructing object
Give sets of 5 abdominal thrusts and 5 back slaps
Give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thursts
When you are performing CPR on an unresponsive person whom you know is choking, what modification should you incorporate?
There are no modifications needed
You should attempt jaw thrust instead of head tilt-chin lift
Each time you open the airway, you look for the obstructing object
You do not give breaths to unresponsive choking victim
When performing high quality CPR on an adult, what action should you ensureis being accomplished?
Maintaining a compression rate of 90 to 120/min
Placing hands on the upper third of the sternum
Allowing the chest to recoil to at least 1 inch
Compressing to a depth of at least 2 inches
Early defibrillation is a link in the adult chain of survival. Why is this important to survival?
It prevents respiratory arrest
It provides normal respiration
It prevents cardiac arrest
It eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm
Why is defibrillation important?
It prevents rearrest from occuring
It is not important for cardiac arrest
There is a 100% success rate
It can restore a regular cardiac rhythm
Members of a team know their boundaries and ask for help before the resuscitation attempt worsens. Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed.
Knowledge sharing
Constructive intervention
Summarizing and reevaluation
Knowing your limitations
The team functions smoothly when all team members know their positions, functions, and tasks during a resuscitation attempt. Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed
Clear roles and responsibilities
Mutual respect
Constructive intervention
Knowing your limitations
9 year old child suddenly collapses. The scene is safe, a single rescuer determines the child is in cardiac arrest. He shouts for help, activates the emergency response system by using his cell phone. He begins high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers arrive to assist.
What actions should occur next to support a team-based resuscitation attempt?
Two rescuers should alternate using the AED and giving 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 operate the AED while the third rescuer gives breaths
Two rescuers begin high-quality CPR while the third rescuer leaves to get the AED. What action supports 2 rescuer CPR
Alternating the AED role every 2 minutes
Alternating the compressor role every 2 minutes
Alternating giving shocks every 3 cycles
Alternate giving rescue breaths every 3 cycles
