While performing high-quality CPR on an adult, what action should you ensure is being accomplished?
Compressing to a depth of at least 2 inches
Maintaining a compression rate of 90 to 120/min
Placing hands on the upper third of the sternum
Allowing the chest to recoil 1 inch
A 53-year-old woman collapses while gardening. She is unresponsive, is not breathing, and does not have a pulse. A neighbor, who is an emergency medical technician, rushes to her with an AED. When the AED arrives, what is the first step for using it?
Apply the pads to the patient's chest
Clear the patient
Turn on the AED
Press the shock button
After the AED pads are attached to the victim's bare chest, the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step when using an AED?
Check the victim for a carotid pulse
Follow the AED prompts
Clear the patient
Press the shock button
What should you do if you need to use an AED on someone who has been submerged in water?
Do not move the victim, and do not use the AED
Pull the victim out of the water, but do not use the AED
Pull the victim out of the water, and wipe the chest
Do not pull the victim out of the water, but wipe the chest before placing the pad
How can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective breaths when using a bag-mask device?Observing the chest rise with breaths
Observing the chest rise with breaths
Delivering breaths quickly and forcefully
Always having oxygen attached to the bag
Allowing air to release around the mask
What ratio for compressions to breaths should be used for 1-rescuer infant CPR?
5 compressions to 1 breath
20 compressions to 2 breaths
15 compressions to 2 breaths
30 compressions to 2 breaths
What is a consideration when you are using an AED?
You should never remove a transdermal medication patch before applying the AED pad
On a hairy chest, the pads may not stick and may fail to deliver a shock
AEDs can be used while a victim is submerged in water
You should not use an AED on someone with an implanted pacemaker
A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response system. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt.
What actions should occur next, to support a team-based resuscitation attempt?
2 rescuers alternate using the AED and giving breaths
1 rescuer gives CPR while the other 2 wait for advanced life support to arrive
2 rescuers alternate giving high-quality chest compressions
2 rescuers 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 rescue breaths every 3 cycles
Alternating giving shocks every 3 cycles
"Members of the 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.
Summarizing and reevaluation
Constructive intervention
Knowing your limitations
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
Why is defibrillation important?
It prevents rearrests from occurring
It’s not important for cardiac arrest
There is a 100% success rate in regaining a normal cardiac rhythm
It can restore a regular cardiac rhythm
You witness somebody collapse. The person is unresponsive, you hear gasping sounds, and there is no pulse. 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
