BASIC LIFE SUPPORT PRACTICE QUIZ

IF YOU ARE PERFORMING RESCUE BREATHING FOR AN ADULT VICTIM WITH A PULSE, YOU SHOULD DO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING EXCEPT: CHECK FOR A PULSE EVERY 2 MINUTES OPEN THE AIRWAY BY USING A HEAD TILT/CHIN LIFT USE A BARRIER OR MASK IF YOU HAVE ONE WITH YOUR INDEX FINGER, SWEEP THE VICTIM'S MOUTH TO ENSURE THERE ARE NO FOREIGN BODIES

WITH YOUR INDEX FINGER, SWEEP THE VICTIM'S MOUTH TO ENSURE THERE ARE NO FOREIGN BODIES

FOR A CHILD NEEDING CPR WHO HAS BEEN DOWN AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME, THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO IS: GO FOR AN AED CALL 911 TO ACTIVATE THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM PROVIDE RESCUE BREATHS DO CPR FOR 2 MINUTES BEFORE YOU CALL FOR HELP

DO CPR FOR 2 MINUTES BEFORE YOU CALL FOR HELP

IF YOU HAVE 2 RESCUERS FOR AN ADULT VICTIM AND ONE OR BOTH ARE COMFORTABLE GIVING RESCUE BREATHS, THE CORRECT RATIO OF COMPRESSIONS TO BREATHS IS: 15 COMPRESSIONS: 1 BREATH 15 COMPRESSIONS: 2 BREATHS 30 COMPRESSIONS: 1 BREATH 30 COMPRESSIONS: 2 BREATHS

30 COMPRESSIONS: 2 BREATHS

The compression to ventilation ratio for one rescuer giving CPR to individuals of ANY age is: 30:1 30:2 15:1 15:2

30:2

A) ACTIVATE THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM; CPR; DEFIBRILLATION; ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT; POST-CARDIAC ARREST CARE

YOU AND A FRIEND ARE WALKING WHEN YOU SEE AN ELDERLY MAN COLLAPSE IN FRONT OF YOU. THERE ARE NO HAZARDS AROUND. YOU ASSESS THE MAN AND DETERMINE THAT HE IS UNCONSCIOUS AND ISN'T BREATHING. YOU SHOULD DIRECT YOUR FRIEND TO: CHECK THE PULSE BEGIN CPR ACTIVATE THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM OPEN THE AIRWAY

ACTIVATE THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM

All of the above

Which of the following are signs of airway obstruction? Poor air exchange High-pitched noise while inhaling Inability to speak All of the above

All of the above

The initial Basic Life Support (BLS) steps for adults are: Assess the individual, give two rescue breaths, defibrillate, and start CPR Assess the individual, activate EMS and get AED, check pulse, and start CPR Check pulse, give rescue breaths, assess the individual, and defibrillate Assess the individual, start CPR, give two rescue breaths, and defibrillate

Assess the individual, activate EMS and get AED, check pulse, and start CPR

THE BEST PLACE TO TRY TO FIND A PULSE IN AN ADULT IS: FEMORAL ARTERY IN UPPER LEG BRACHIAL ARTERY IN UPPER ARM CAROTID ARTERY ON SIDE OF NECK RADIAL ARTERY ON THUMB SIDE OF WRIST

CAROTID ARTERY ON SIDE OF NECK

Where should you attempt to perform a pulse check in a child who is anywhere from one year to puberty? Brachial artery Ulnar artery Temporal artery Carotid or femoral artery

Carotid or femoral artery

The 2015 AHA guidelines for CPR recommended BLS sequence of steps are: Chest compressions, Airway, Breathing Airway, Breathing, Check pulse Airway, Breathing, Chest compressions NONE OF THE ABOVE

Chest compressions, Airway, Breathing

In an adult with an advanced airway in place during two-rescuer CPR, how often should the breaths be administered? Every 2 to 3 seconds (20 to 30 breaths per minute) Every 4 to 5 seconds (12 to 15 breaths per minute) Every 6 to 8 seconds (8 to 10 breaths per minute) Every 10 to 12 seconds (5 to 6 breaths per minute)

Every 6 to 8 seconds (8 to 10 breaths per minute)

T/F THE GENERAL PUBLIC SHOULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO DO RESCUE BREATHING.

FALSE

The proper steps for operating an AED are: Power on the AED, attach electrode pads, shock the individual, and analyze the rhythm Power on the AED, attach electrode pads, analyze the rhythm, clear the individual, and deliver shock Attach electrode pads, check pulse, shock individual, and analyze rhythm Check pulse, attach electrode pads, analyze rhythm, shock patient

POWER ON THE AED, ATTACH ELECTRODE PADS, ANALYZE THE RHYTHM, CLEAR THE INDIVIDUAL, AND DELIVER SHOCK

DURING CPR, IF THE VICTIM'S CHEST DOESN'T RISE AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS TO GIVE BREATHS, YOU SHOULD: ATTEMPT TO GIVE BREATHS UNTIL YOU SEE THE CHEST RISE READJUST THE HEAD USING A JAW THRUST MANEUVER BLOW HARDER INTO THE VICTIM'S MOUTH START CHEST COMPRESSIONS AGAIN

START CHEST COMPRESSIONS AGAIN

T/F WHEN DOING MOUTH-MOUTH BREATHING FOR A SMALL CHILD OR INFANT, IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO COVER THE VICTIM'S MOUTH AND NOSE WITH YOUR MOUTH TO FORM AN AIRTIGHT SEAL

TRUE
