B

Thirty ____________ and two ____________ equal one cycle of CPR. breaths, chest compressions chest compressions, breaths chest compressions, pulse checks chest compressions, jaw thrusts

B

What is the appropriate way to clear an object from an infant's airway? The Heimlich maneuver Abdominal thrusts Back blows and chest thrusts Blind finger sweep

C

How should you attempt to relieve choking in a responsive individual over the age of one year? Back slaps Finger sweep None of the above Abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver)

D

The initial Basic Life Support (BLS) steps for adults are: Assess the individual, give two rescue breaths, defibrillate, and start CPR Check pulse, give rescue breaths, assess the individual, and defibrillate None of the above Assess the individual, activate EMS and get AED, check pulse, and start CPR

D

The proper steps for operating an AED are: Power on the AED, attach electrode pads, shock the individual, and analyze the rhythm Attach electrode pads, check pulse, shock the individual, and analyze rhythm None of the above Power on the AED, attach electrode pads, clear the individual, analyze the rhythm, and deliver shock

D

Where should you attempt to perform a pulse check in a child from one year of age to puberty? Popliteal artery Temporal artery Brachial artery Carotid or femoral artery

D

True or False: An individual should be "cleared" prior to a shock only when convenient.

FALSE

True or False: For infants, an AED is preferred to a manual defibrillator for defibrillation.

FALSE

True or False: If the AED advises no shock, you should still defibrillate because defibrillation often restarts the heart with no pulse.

FALSE

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

A

Where should you attempt to perform a pulse check in an infant? Brachial artery Temporal artery Popliteal artery Carotid or femoral artery

A

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

A

You are alone when you encounter an adult with cardiac arrest. Individual is not breathing, has no pulse, and has no suspected cervical spine trauma. Which maneuver should you use to open the airway? Head-tilt-chin-lift maneuver Head-tilt maneuver only Blind finger-sweeps Jaw-thrust maneuver

A

True or False: Agonal gasps are not normal breathing and may be present in the first minutes after sudden cardiac arrest.

TRUE

True or False: An AED may be used normally even if the individual is lying on snow.

TRUE

True or False: CPR is performed while a second rescuer gets an AED.

TRUE

True or False: If the individual is making high pitched wheezing noises and gasping for air you should encourage them to cough.

TRUE

True or False: If you cannot see the infant's chest rise and fall, reposition the airway and attempt the breath again.

TRUE

True or False: If you did not witness the arrest of a child or an infant, you should provide two minutes of CPR before leaving them to activate the emergency response system and get the AED.

TRUE

True or False: It is recommended to minimize interruptions in CPR for pulse checks and shocks.

TRUE

True or False: The jaw-thrust maneuver should be used to open the airway of an individual with a suspected head or neck injury.

TRUE
