Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 8mins
What does CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) primarily do for a person whose heart has stopped?
Restarts the heart immediately
Keeps oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and vital organs
Cures heart disease
Stops bleeding
Which of the following is NOT a reason for performing CPR?
Prevents brain damage
Increases chances of survival
Maintains minimal blood flow to organs
Instantly cures heart attacks
Which sign indicates that someone may need CPR?
Responsive and talking
Unresponsive with no movement
Sweating heavily
Complaining of chest pain
Explain how chest compressions during CPR help the body, and why is it important to allow the chest to recoil between compressions?
Chest compressions pump blood through the heart and allow the heart to refill; recoil is important for refilling.
Chest compressions provide oxygen directly to the lungs; recoil is not necessary.
Chest compressions restart the heart; recoil increases heart rate.
Chest compressions stop bleeding; recoil prevents bruising.
A person collapses and is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no pulse. You begin CPR. What is the recommended rate and depth for chest compressions?
60-80 compressions per minute, 1 inch deep
100-120 compressions per minute, 2 inches deep
150-200 compressions per minute, 3 inches deep
80-100 compressions per minute, 1.5 inches deep
What is the first step you should take before approaching a victim in an emergency situation?
Check for response
Call for help
Safety first – check the scene
Start chest compressions
When performing chest compressions on an adult, how deep should you push down?
At least 1 inch
At least 2 inches
At least 3 inches
At least 4 inches
What is the recommended rate for chest compressions during CPR for adults?
60–80 per minute
80–100 per minute
100–120 per minute
120–140 per minute
Which of the following is a correct step when using an AED?
Apply pads to the bare chest
Deliver shock before analysis
Ensure someone is touching the person during shock
Remove pads immediately after use
If you encounter a trauma victim who needs CPR, what special consideration should you take?
Use different hand placement and gentler pressure
Protect the cervical spine
Start CPR with breaths
Perform compressions higher on the sternum
Define CPR.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Cardiac Pulse Recovery
Circulatory Pressure Regulation
Chest Pressure Response
Why is CPR time-sensitive?
It must be performed quickly to keep oxygen-rich blood circulating and reduce the risk of brain damage.
It is only effective during daytime hours.
It works best if performed after advanced help arrives.
It is not important to start CPR immediately.
Which of the following is a common mistake to avoid when performing CPR?
Shallow compressions
Activating EMS early
Allowing chest recoil
Maintaining proper compression rate
What is the purpose of allowing the chest to fully recoil during CPR?
To let the heart refill with blood between compressions
To increase the speed of compressions
To stop compressions unnecessarily
To reduce oxygen flow to the organs
When should CPR begin?
As soon as a person is unresponsive and not breathing normally
After advanced help arrives
Only if an AED is available
When the scene is unsafe
