A 67 year old man is found unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse. You and a second rescuer begin performing high-quality CPR.
When should rescuers switch positions during CPR?
Never switch rescuers
When placing the AED pads
About every two minutes
at 5 minute intervals
A 67-year-old man is found unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse. You and a second rescuer begin performing high-quality CPR.
You notice the person giving chest compressions is not allowing for complete chest recoil. What is your next course of action?
Stand back and await direction from the second rescuer
Tell the rescuer the compressions are wrong
Immediately take over chest compressions
Tell the compressor you notice decreased chest recoil
“The team functions smoothly when all team members know their positions, functions, and tasks during a resuscitation attempt.” Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed.
Clear roles and responsibilities
knowing your limitations
constructive intervention
Mutual respect
Early defibrillation is a link in the adult chain of survival. Why is it important to survival?
It prevents respiratory arrest
It prevents cardiac arrest
It provides normal respiration
It eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm
What special circumstances should a rescuer consider when using an AED?
They should never use an AED on someone with an implanted pacemaker
On a hairy chest, the pads may not stick and may fail to deliver a shock
AED's can only be used while a person is submerged in water
They should never remove a transdermal medication patch before applying the AED pads
When the AED arrives, What is the first step for using it?
Apply the pads to the bare chest
Press the shock button
Turn on the AED
Clear the patient
After the AED pads are attached to the person, the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step when using an AED?
Check 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 pull the person out of the water
Pull the person out of the water, but do not used the AED
Pull the person out of the water, and wipe the chest
Do ot remove 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?
Has normal breathing and has a pulse
Has no normal breathing and no pulse
Has a pulse and is having trouble breathing
Has a strong pulse and is breathing
Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR?
There will be a reduction of rescuer fatigue
the rate of chest compressions will increase
The heart will adequately refill between compressions
It will reduce the risk of rib fractures
A middle-aged man collapses. You and a second rescuer go to the victim and find that he is unresponsive, is not breathing, and does not have a pulse.
Which action is most likely to positively impact his survival?
Performing high-quality CPR
Providing rescue breaths
Ensuring scene safety
Checking the pulse frequently
A middle-aged man collapses. You and a second rescuer go to the victim and find that he is unresponsive, is not breathing, and does not have a pulse.
You and another rescuer begin CPR. After a few cycles, you notice the chest compression rate is slowing. What should you say to offer constructive feedback?
"You need to compress at a rat of 80 to 120 per minute."
"You need to compress at a rate of at least 100 per minute."
"You need to compress at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute."
"You need to compress at a rate of at least 120 per minute."
An 8-month-old infant is eating and suddenly begins to cough. The infant is unable to make any noise shortly after. You pick up the infant and shout for help.
You have determined that the infant is responsive and choking with a severe airway obstruction. How do you relieve the airway obstruction?
Give abdominal thrusts
Give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts
Begin 2 thumb- encircling hands chest compressions
Encourage the infant to cough
An 8-month-old infant is eating and suddenly begins to cough. The infant is unable to make any noise shortly after. You pick up the infant and shout for help.
The infant becomes unresponsive. Which action do you perform to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant?
Perform CPR, and look in the mouth for the obstructing object before you give each breath
Attempt a blind finger sweep when giving breaths to remove the obstructing object
Give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts
Give sets of 5 abdominal thrusts and 5 back slaps
What ratio for compressions to breaths should be used for 1- rescuer infant CPR?
Give 15 compressions to 2 breaths
Give 20 compressions to 2 breaths
Give 5 compressions to 1 breath
Give 30 compressions to 2 breaths
When you a performing CPR on an unresponsive person whom you know is choking, what modification should you incorporate?
There are no modifications to CPR for an unresponsive choking victim
You should attempt a jaw thrust instead of a head tilt- chin lift
Each time you open the airway, you look for the obstructing object
You do not give breaths to an unresponsive choking victim
How can rescuers ensure they are providing effective breaths when using a bag-mask device?
Observing the chest rise with each breath
always having oxygen attached to the bag
delivering breaths quickly and forcefully
Allowing air to release around the mask
Which characteristics of chest compressions in high-quality CPR are given to a child?
At least one third the depth of the chest, approximately 2 inches (5 cm)
At least one fourth the depth of the chest, approximately 1½ inches (4 cm)
At least two thirds the depth of the chest, approximately 4 inches (10 cm)
At least one half the depth of the chest, approximately 3 inches (8 cm)
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 by using his mobile device. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers immediately arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt.
What actions should occur next to support a team based resuscitation attempt?
Two rescuers should alternate using the AED and giving breaths
Two rescuers should operate the AED while the third rescuer gives breaths
Two rescuers should alternate giving high-quality chest compressions.
One rescuer should give CPR while the other 2 wait for advanced life support to arrive.
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 shocks every 3 cycles
Alternating giving rescue breaths every 3 cycles
While performing high-quality CPR on an adult, what action should you ensure is being accomplished?
Allowing the chest to recoil to at least 1 inch
Placing hands on the upper third of the sternum
Maintaining a compression rate of 90 to 120/min
Compressing to a depth of at least 2 inches
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
“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.
Knowledge sharing
Summarizing and reevalution
Constructive intervention
Knowing your limitations
You witness someone suddenly collapse. The person is unresponsive, you hear gasping sounds, and there is no pulse. You phone 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 considered normal breathing
