HEALTH - CPR Test
About how many cycles of CPR should you perform for an adult in 2 minutes?
5 cycles
You determine that a person might be in shock. Do each of the following *except*
Give the person water
Which of the following are signals of trouble breathing?
Noisy or painful breathing, unusual deep or shallow breathing, changes in skin color
When should you call 911 or the local emergency number?
The person has trouble breathing
Early CPR is an important link in the Cardiac Chain of Survival because
With early CPR, most cardiac arrest victims do not need defibrillation
You should continue CPR until
You are too exhausted to continue
How should you check a conscious person?
Get consent to give care, ask questions, do not touch or move painful areas, injured areas on the body
When giving a rescue breath to an adult, you should give the breath over a period of about
1 second
Each minute that defibrillation is delayed reduces the chance of survival of a sudden cardiac arrest victim by about
10 percent
Always check for signs of life for no more than
10 seconds
The cycle of compressions and breaths in CPR for an adult are
30 compressions for every 2 breaths
About how often should you stop and check for signs of life while performing CPR on an adult?
After every minute (or after every 4 cycles of compressions and breaths)
Once you have attached AED pads to a person, you should
Allow or activate the AED to analyze the heart rhythm
You see a woman collapse in front of you while entering the lobby of your office building. You check the scene and then check the victim for consciousness, but she does not respond. What should you do next?
Call or have someone call 911
The steps to follow in an emergency are
Check-Call-Care
What care should you give to a conscious adult who is choking and cannot cough, speak or breathe
Do a foreign object look/removal
What should you do if the person does not give consent?
Do not give care, but do call 911 or the local emergency number
What should you do before the AED analyzes the rhythm?
Ensure that no one, including you, is touching the person
If a person is suffering from pain or discomfort in the chest that lasts more than 3-5 minutes or that goes away and then comes back, this person is most likely having a
Heart attack
Which of the following statements about defibrillation is true?
It is an electric shock that may help the heart to resume an effective rhythm to a person in a sudden cardiac arrest
By following standard precautions to protect yourself and the person, you can
Minimize the risk of disease transmission
If, during the second analysis, the AED prompts "no shock advised", you should
Resume 5 cycles or about 2 minutes of CPR
Early defibrillation can
Save the lives of more people in cardiac arrest
The best way to check if a person is unconscious is
Tap the person and shout, "Are you okay?"
Why is it important to stand clear and not touch the person before delivering a shock with an AED?
The AED may not deliver enough electrical energy, you or someone else could be injured by the shock, you might prevent the AED from analyzing the heart rhythm properly
Move an injured-person *only* if
The scene is or is becoming unsafe, you need to reach another person with a more serious injury or illness, you need to move a person to give emergency care
The AED pads for an adult should be placed on
The upper right and the lower left side of the chest
When preparing an AED for use, what is the first thing you should do?
Turn on the AED
What type of signals may help you notice an emergency?
Unusual noises, unusual odors, unusual appearances or behaviors
If prior to applying the pads, you see a medication patch on the person's chest, you should
With a gloved hand, remove the patch from the person's chest
