Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
A person collapses in front of you and is unresponsive. Describe the strategic steps you would take to assess and provide CPR, ensuring you prioritize actions effectively.
Check for responsiveness, call for help, start chest compressions, and then check for breathing.
Call for help, check for responsiveness, check for breathing, and then start chest compressions.
Start chest compressions immediately, then call for help and check for responsiveness.
Check for breathing, start chest compressions, call for help, and then check for responsiveness.
Analyze the following statement: "The quality of chest compressions is more important than the speed of compressions in CPR." Justify your reasoning.
True, because high-quality compressions ensure adequate blood flow to vital organs.
False, because speed is the most critical factor in maintaining circulation.
True, because compressions should be slow and deep to be effective.
False, because both speed and quality are equally important.
Consider a situation where you are performing CPR on an adult. How would you adjust your technique if the person is significantly overweight?
Use more force in compressions to ensure they are deep enough.
Perform compressions at a faster rate to compensate for body mass.
Position your hands lower on the chest to increase effectiveness.
Use a one-hand technique to avoid causing injury.
You are teaching a CPR class. How would you explain the importance of allowing full chest recoil between compressions?
It prevents fatigue in the person performing CPR.
It ensures that the heart refills with blood, maximizing circulation.
It reduces the risk of rib fractures during CPR.
It allows the rescuer to maintain a steady rhythm.
In a scenario where two rescuers are available, how should they coordinate their efforts to maximize the effectiveness of CPR?
One rescuer performs compressions while the other manages the airway and provides breaths.
Both rescuers alternate compressions every 2 minutes to prevent fatigue.
One rescuer performs compressions while the other calls for emergency services.
Both rescuers perform compressions simultaneously to increase effectiveness.
Critically assess the role of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in the CPR process. Why is it crucial to use an AED as soon as possible?
It provides a diagnosis of the heart rhythm, which is essential before starting CPR.
It can restore a normal heart rhythm, increasing the chances of survival.
It replaces the need for chest compressions if used immediately.
It ensures that CPR is performed at the correct rate and depth.
Imagine you are in a situation where you need to perform CPR on a child. How does the technique differ from adult CPR, and why?
Use one hand for compressions and provide more frequent breaths.
Use two fingers for compressions and provide breaths at a slower rate.
Use both hands for compressions but at a shallower depth.
Use one hand for compressions and provide breaths at a faster rate.
You are in a situation where you need to perform CPR on an infant. What strategic adjustments should you make to ensure the procedure is effective?
Use two fingers for compressions and cover the infant's nose and mouth with your mouth for breaths.
Use one hand for compressions and provide breaths through the nose only.
Use two hands for compressions and provide breaths through the mouth only.
Use one finger for compressions and provide breaths through the nose and mouth.
How should you position your hands when performing chest compressions on an adult?
One hand on top of the other, fingers interlocked
One hand on the chest, the other on the abdomen
Both hands on the chest, side by side
One hand on the chest, the other on the forehead

What is the primary purpose of chest compressions during CPR?

When performing CPR on an adult, how many chest compressions should be given per minute?
60-80 compressions
80-100 compressions
100-120 compressions

What should you do if an AED advises that no shock is needed?
Turn off the AED
Continue CPR until emergency personnel arrive
Remove the AED pads
Wait for the AED to reanalyze
How should you modify CPR techniques for an infant compared to an adult?
Use one hand for compressions
Use two fingers for compressions
Use the heel of one hand for compressions
Use both hands for compressions
During CPR, how should the rescuer position their hands on the chest of an adult?
On the lower half of the sternum
On the upper half of the sternum
On the left side of the chest
On the right side of the chest
In a CPR practice scenario, if an adult is choking and becomes unresponsive, what should you do?
Perform abdominal thrusts
Start CPR beginning with chest compressions
Give rescue breaths only
Check for a pulse
What should you do if you are alone and find an adult who needs CPR?
Perform CPR for 2 minutes before calling for help
Call for help immediately, then start CPR
Give rescue breaths first, then call for help
Check for a pulse before calling for help
Which of the following is a correct technique for opening the airway of an adult during CPR?
