3. High-Quality CPR
4. Defibrillation
5. Post-Cardiac Arrest Care
6. Recovery
What are the correct actions to take for scene safety and assessment? -ANS-Verify
scene safety
-Look for no breathing and only gasping and check pulse
-Check for responsiveness
-Activate the emergency response system and get an AED
-Begin CPR if no breathing or no gasping and no pulse felt
What are the components of a pulse check in an unresponsive victim? -ANS-Feel the
pulse in the groove to the side of the trachea
-Assess for a pulse for at least 5 but no more than 10 seconds
-Use 2 or 3 fingers to locate the pulse
What does a chest compression feedback device monitor? -ANS-Compression rate
-Chest recoil
-Compression depth
when using a pocket mask, where should the rescuer be positioned? -ANSat the side of
the victim
A bag-mask device is used to provide____to a victim who is not breathing or not
breathing normally. -ANSpositive-pressure ventilation
How are breaths delivered using a bag-mask device? -ANS1 breath over 1 second,
while watching for chest rise
Two life-threatening arrhythmias that can cause cardiac arrest are pulseless ventricular
tachycardia and __________ -ANSventricular fibrillation
After an AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next? -ANSResume CPR,
starting with chest compressions
, How do you open the airway for breaths if a single rescuer is present? -ANSHead tilt-
chin lift
After positioning yourself directly above the victim's head, what is the correct order of
steps for using a bag-mask device? -ANS1. Place the mask on the victim's face, using
the bridge of the nose as a guide for the correct position.
2. Use the E-C clamp techinque to hold the maks in place while you life the jaw to hold
the airway open
3. Squeeze the bad to give breaths (1 second each) while watching for chest rise
Why is an AED needed? -ANSto analyze the heart rhythm and provide a shock
After an AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next? -ANSResume CPR,
starting with chest compressions
When should the rescuer operating the AED clear the victim? -ANSDuring analysis and
before shock delivery
Where should AED pads be placed in the anteroposterior placement for adults and
children 8 years and older? -ANSLeft side of the back and Left side of the chest
You and your colleague respond to an adult victim who is unresponsive. After assessing
that the victim is not breathing and has no pulse, what do you instruct your colleague to
do? -ANSActivate the emergency response system and get the AED
You tap and shout to check for responsiveness, but the patient does not respond. What
is your next step after calling for help? -ANSCheck for breathing and a pulse
After checking for breathing and a pulse, you find that the patient is not breathing
normally but had a pulse and needs rescue breathing. What is the correct ventilation
rate? -ANS1 breath every 6 seconds, or about 10 breaths per minute
After 4 minutes of rescue breathing, no pulse is present during a pulse check. What
immediate actions should be taken? -ANSImmediately begin CPR and turn on the AED
As you are providing CPR, your colleague arrives, turns on the AED, and follows the
prompts. The AED analyzes the rhythm and does not advise a shcok. After you
immediately resume CPR, how do you continute treating the patient? -ANSContinue
CPR until prompted by the AED to allow a rhythm check, the code team arrives, or the
patient starts to move
Where should AED pads be placed in the anterolateral placement for adults and
children 8 years or older? -ANSBelow the right collarbone and Side of the left nipple
When performing high-quality CPR on a child, what is the correct depth of
compressions? -ANSApproximately 2 inches (5 cm)
