When should rescuers switch positions during CPR?
Never switch
When placing the AED pads
About every 2 minutes
At 5-minute intervals
You notice your partner giving chest compressions is not allowing for complete chest recoil. What should you do?
Stand back and wait for direction from another rescuer
Tell the rescuer the compressions are wrong
Immediately take over chest compressions
Tell the compressor you notice decreased chest recoil
What is this phrase an example of?
"The team functions smoothly when all team members know their positions, functions, and tasks during a resuscitation attempt."
Clear roles and responsibilities
Knowing your limitations
Constructive intervention
Mutual respect
Early defibrillation is a link in the adult Chain of Survival. Why is this important?
It prevents respiratory arrest
It prevents cardiac arrest
It provides normal respiration
It eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm
What is a special circumstance a rescuer should consider when using an AED?
Never use an AED on someone with an implanted pacemaker
On a hairy chest, the pads may not stick and may fail to deliver shock
AEDs can only be used when a person is submerged in water
Never remove a transdermal medication patch before applying AED pads
What is the first step for using an AED?
Apply pads to chest
Press Shock button
Turn on AED
Clear the patient
When AED pads are attached and the AED detects ventricular fibrillation, what are the next steps?
Check for carotid pulse
Follow AED prompts
Clear the patient
Press Shock button
What should you do if you need to use an AED on someone who has been submerged in water?
Do not pull them out of the water, and wipe the chest
Pull the person out of the water, but do not use the AED
Pull the person out of the water, and wipe the chest
Do not move the person and do not use the AED
Why is defibrillation important?
It is not important for cardiac arrest
It prevents rearrest from occurring
There is a 100% success rate
It can restore a regular cardiac rhythm
Which adult victim requires high-quality CPR?
Normal breathing and a pulse
No normal breathing and no pulse
A pulse and trouble breathing
Strong pulse and breathing
Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR?
Reduction of rescuer fatigue
Rate of chest compressions will increase
Heart will adequately refill between compressions
Will reduce the risk of rib fractures
What action will most likely positively impact the survival of someone who collapses, has no pulse, not breathing, and is unresponsive?
Performing high-quality CPR
Providing rescue breaths
Ensuring scene safety
Checking the pulse frequently
You and another rescuer are performing CPR and you notice the chest compression rate is slowing. What should you say?
Compress at a rate of 80 to 120
Compress at a rate of at least 100
Compress at a rate of 100 to 120
Compress at a rate of at least 120
An infant is responsive and choking with a severe airway obstruction. How do you relieve the obstruction?
Give abdominal thrusts
Give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts
Beging 2 thumb-encircling hands chest compressions
Encourage the infant to cough
The infant becomes unresponsive. What do you do next?
Perform CPR, look in the mouth for the object before each breath
Attempt a blind finger sweep when giving breaths
Give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts
Give sets of 5 abdominal thrusts and 5 back slaps
What is the ratio for compressions to breaths for 1-rescuer infant CPR
(a)
When you are performing CPR on an unresponsive person who is choking, what modification should you use?
No modification
Attempt a jaw thrust instead of a head-tilt-chin-lift
Each time you open the airway, look for obstructing object
You do not give breaths to an unresponsive choking victim
How can rescuers make sure they are providing effective breaths when using a bag-mask device?
Observe chest rise with each breath
Always have oxygen attached to the bag
Deliver breaths quickly and forcefully
Allow air to release around the mask
How deep should chest compressions go for a child?
(a)
When using a team-based attempt during CPR, what should rescuers do?
Two rescuers alternate using AED and giving breaths
Two rescuers operate the AED while the third gives breaths
Two rescuers alternate giving chest compressions
One rescuer give CPR while the other two wait for more help
Two rescuers begin high-quality CPR while the third rescuer leaves to get the AED. What action supports two-rescuer CPR
Alternate AED role every 2 minutes
Alternate compressor role every 2 minutes
Alternate giving shocks every 3 cycles
Alternate giving rescue breaths every 3 cycles
When performing high-quality CPR on an adult, what action should you make sure is being accomplished?
Allowing chest to recoil at least 1 inch
Placing hands on upper third of sternum
Maintaining compression rate of 90 to 120
Compressing to at least 2 inches
Someone with a foreign-body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive. What should you do?
Start CPR beginning with chest compressions
Roll them over and perform back slaps
Perform abdominal thrusts
Perform blind finger sweeps
What is this statement an example of? "Members of the team know their boundaries and ask for help before the resuscitation attempt worsens."
Knowledge sharing
Summarizing and reevaluation
Constructive intervention
Knowing your limitations
You witness someone suddenly collapse. They are unresponsive, you hear gasping sounds, and there is no pulse. You call 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
Begin CPR even though gasping is normal breathing
Monitor the patient; the gasps are not normal breathing
