BLS CPR EXAM

If a infant is choking and unconscious and you are alone you should first:

Administer CPR for 2 mins (5 cycles)

The depth of chest compression for adult cpr is 2 inches.

True

The correct sequence of CPR for an adult, or a child or an infant, when two rescuers are present is:

Check response, call 911/Get AED, Chest Compressions, Open Airway, Give Breaths

The correct sequence of Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) involves:

Recognition of cardiac arrest (no response and no breathing or only gasping breath),Activation of EMS,Immediate CPR (chest compressions followed by breaths),Rapid use of AED if available

If trauma is suspected, what should you do before beginning compression technique?

Stabilize the neck

During a child cpr, if there is no pulse or pulse is less than 60 beats per minute:

Start compression at 100 per minute

At present only chest compression CPR is recommended for Adult CPR outside the hospital

True

Automated external defibrillator (AED) should be used as soon as it is available, resume chest compressions immediately after the shock is given.

True

Brain death starts to occur within 5 minutes after breathing stops.

True

Calling EMS/911 and pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest is hands-only CPR.

True

Chest compression rate for adult, child and infant cpr is 100 per minute.

True

During CPR, cover the victim's mouth and nose with a face mask or cloth to prevent the spread of an infection to any bystander.

True

For 1 rescuer (adult, child and infant cpr), the compression to ventilation ratio is 30:2.

True

For 2 rescuer (child and infant cpr), the compression to ventilation ratio is 15:2

True

For a child CPR, if the rescuer is a household member who has already been exposed to the victim (COVID-19 positive) at home, then start chest compression followed by mouth to mouth ventilation (preferably with CPR face shield filter).

True

Hands- only CPR may be performed by any bystander even if they are not trained in CPR.

True

The correct CPR sequence for evaluation is Circulation/Chest Compression, Opening Airway and rescue Breaths (CAB)

True

The depth of chest compression for a child and an infant cpr is 1/3rd the anterior-posterior (AP) diameter of the chest.

True

Ventilation rate for adult cpr is 10-12 breaths / minute (i.e. every 5-6 seconds).

True

Ventilation rate for child and infant cpr is 12-20 breaths / minute (i.e. every 3-5 seconds).

True
