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
