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

What is anaphylaxis?

severe, life threatening allergic reaction

How long (in seconds) should a rescue breath roughly take to inflate the victims

What is the European emergency services number?

112

The normal breathing rate for an adult patient is:

12-30

What ratio for compressions to breaths should be used for 2-rescuer infant CPR?

15 compressions to 2 breathes

How long should you wash your hands?
