Dr. Dave should assess Olivia for breathing, a pulse and life-threatening bleeding for no more than 10 seconds. After recognizing that Olivia is in cardiac arrest, he should initiate CPR immediately, true or false?

True

When performing single-provider CPR on Theo, Amy was correct to use a compression-to-ventilation ratio of 30:2. True or false?

True - 30:2

Dr. Dave performed chest compressions at the proper depth. What is the correct chest compression depth for an infant?

1½ inches or 1.5 inches

Vickie should use an anterior/posterior position for pad placement for Olivia, as shown here. True or false?

true

Amy performed high-quality chest compressions on Theo. What is the correct chest compression depth for a child?

2 inches

Next, Amy must simultaneously check for breathing and a pulse. Choose the recommended location to perform the pulse check.

Neck - carotid artery

After determining that Theo is unresponsive, Amy must tell Joe to activate the rapid response team and get the AED and resuscitation equipment. Then, she must simultaneously check for breathing, pulse and life-threatening bleeding. To accurately assess breathing, she should open the airway to a ________ position using the head-tilt/chin-lift technique.

Slightly past neutral

If Dr. Dave were alone and providing CPR, which would be the preferred compression technique?

encircling thumbs technique

When providing multiple-provider CPR for an infant, which compression technique should the team use?

encircling thumbs technique

If the AED came equipped with adult AED pads only, Vickie should not use them. Instead, she should call for someone to bring pediatric AED pads and continue CPR until the new pads arrive. True or false?

false

When the team switches roles, they should take less than __ seconds.

10

If Theo had an advanced airway in place during CPR, what would be the correct rate of ventilation delivery?

1 ventilation every 2 to 3 seconds for a child or infant

If Theo were a smaller child or toddler, Amy could use a one-hand technique to perform high-quality chest compressions. True or false?

True

When applying the AED pads, Ana-Lisa used an anterior/posterior placement. When should providers use this placement method for a child?

1. If the manufacturer recommends the use of an anterior/posterior pad placement. AND/OR 2. If the AED pads risk touching each other.

Olivia is unresponsive. Dr. Dave needs to assess for breathing, a pulse and life-threatening bleeding. Choose the recommended location to perform the pulse check.

brachial artery in the arm

The team continued to provide high-quality CPR until the rapid response team arrived and relieved them. In which situations would the team stop performing CPR?

spontaneous movement or normal breathing

At the same time, Amy should scan the body for life-threatening bleeding. True or false?

true

When performing multiple-provider CPR on an infant, the compression/ventilation ratio is ____: 2

15

After the shock is delivered, Ana-Lisa will immediately resume chest compressions. Which compression-to-ventilation ratio should the team use?

15:2

Amy recognized that Theo was in cardiac arrest and initiated CPR. If Amy had determined that Theo were in respiratory arrest with a central pulse of ≤ 60 bpm and signs of poor perfusion, which action would she take?

Start CPR Immediately

Stephanie properly opened the airway and delivered ventilations. Which statement about delivering ventilations to an infant in cardiac arrest is true?

Tilt the head to a slightly past neutral position.

After Ana-Lisa took over compressions, Joe and Amy worked together to operate the BVM. Joe maintained an open airway and sealed the mask with both hands in the E-C position, while Amy delivered ventilations. This is the recommended technique for operating the BVM when enough providers are available. True or false?

True

Vickie has arrived with the AED and will now begin to use it. What are the proper steps for using an AED?

Vickie turns on the AED. Vickie attaches the AED pads while Dr. Dave and Stephanie continue CPR. The team clears the patient during AED analysis and shock delivery. The new compressor starts CPR immediately after shock is delivered or if no shock is advised.
