CPR/First Aid Study
A wound that occurs when tissue is separated from the body is called an:
Avulsion
You witness someone suddenly collapse. The person is unresponsive, you hear gasping sounds, and there is no pulse. What should you do next?
Begin CPR; gasping is not normal breathing
Ischemia
Blood reduction
The artery used to check an infants pulse
Brachial Artery
Injury to body tissue caused by heat, caustics, radiation, and/or electricity
Burn
Procedure of providing oxygen and chest compression to a victim whose heart has stopped beating
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
An interrupted supply of blood to the brain, caused by formation of a clot, blockage of an artery or rupture of a vessel
Cerebrovascular accident (stroke)
What should you do if you feel a rib break when performing chest compressions?
Check your hand position and continue chest compressions
The word "Embolism" like in the phrase "Pulmonary Embolism" means:
Clot
While performing high-quality CPR on an adult, what action should you ensure is being accomplished?
Compressing to a depth of at least 2 inches
Can also be called a seizure; violent, involuntary contractions of the muscle
Convulsion
What does DRAB stand for?
Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing
Signs of breathing difficulty include all of the following EXCEPT:
Decrease pulse rate
How does defibrillation work?
Delivers an electrical shock to the heart to clear excessive electrical activity and allow the heart to regain its normal rhythm
Profuse or excessive perspiration, or sweating
Diaphoresis
What are the four links in the Chain of Survival?
Early Access to Help , Early CPR, Early Defibrillation, Early Advanced Care
Which drug can reverse the effects of anaphylaxis
Epinephrine/Adrenaline
This cell distributes oxygen throughout the whole body
Erythrocyte (red blood cell)
The FAST test can be used for a victim suspected of having a stroke. What does it stand for?
Face, Arms, Speech, Time
You must attend a formal first aid course before giving first aid to a stranger on the street
False
After AED pads are attached to a victim's bare chest, the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step?
Follow AED prompts
Actually freezing of tissue fluid resulting in damage to the skin and underlying tissue
Frostbite
You have determined that an infant is responsive and choking with a severe airway obstruction. How do you relieve the airway obstruction?
Give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts
Condition resulting from exposure to heat and excessive loss of fluid through sweating
Heat exhaustion
Medical emergency caused by prolonged exposure to heat, resulting in high body temperature and failure of sweat glands
Heat stroke
Excessive loss of blood; bleeding of a blood vessel
Hemorrhage
Where should chest compressions be performed on a victim
In the center of the chest
Why is defibrillation important?
It can restore a regular cardiac rhythm
This cell fights infection
Leukocyte (white cell)
How can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective breaths when using a bag-mask device?
Observing the chest rise with breaths
Agonal respiration is:
Occasional and gasping
What is a consideration when you are using an AED?
On a hairy chest, the pads may not suck and may fail to deliver a shock
The Emergency Number "911" is used
Only in United States and Canada
Which action do you perform to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant?
Perform CPR and look in the mouth for the obstructing object
What action is most likely to positively impact the survival of a victim who is unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse?
Performing high-quality CPR
What should you do if you need to use an AED on someone who has been submerged in water?
Pull the victim out of the water, and wipe the chest
A victim with a foreign-body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive. What is your first course of action?
Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions
What are two divisions of the Autonomic Nervous System?
Sympathetic and parasympathetic
Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR?
The heart will adequately refill between compressions
You arrive at the scene of a road traffic accident. There are multiple casualties with serious injuries. Who should you give assistance to first?
The victim who isn't making any noise
This cell clots blood
Thrombocyte
How should you open an airway in an unconscious adult victim
Tilt the head back and lift the chin
What does TIA (mild stroke) stand for?
Transient Ischemic Attack
If someone with low blood sugar is responding and can sit up and swallow, give her something that contains sugar to eat or drink.
True
If you are a lone rescuer, using AED takes priority over performing CPR
True
There is evidence that 'Hand-only CPR' (just performing chest compressions with no rescue breathes) is just as effective as conventional CPR
True
What is the first step of using an AED?
Turn it on
When assessing the scene, you should consider which of the following:
danger to yourself, how many people are injured or ill, where the location is, where the nearest telephone is
As you are inserting an oropharyngeal airway, your patient begins to gag. You should:
immediately remove the airway and prepare to suction
When performing CPR on an unresponsive choking victim, what should you incorporate?
look for the obstructing object each time you open the airway,
Skin color and temperature can provide clues to significant blood loss in a patient because:
poor perfusion causes the skin to become pale
