YMCA CPR EXAM III VIEW AHEAD
ASSESSMENT 2026 BUNDLED MATERIALS
◉ You find an 11-year-old child who is unresponsive and blue. She is
not breathing normally and you cannot feel a carotid pulse. Her
friend states that she collapsed and stopped moving after playing
the "pass out" choking game. You are the only trained BLS provider.
What do you need to do? Answer: Send the friend to activate EMS
and get an AED, then begin CPR yourself.
◉ You are performing CPR on a 65-year-old man who suddenly
collapsed. Another provider shows up with an AED. She turns on the
device and the voice instructions begin. What is the next step?
Answer: Cut open or tear away the man's shirt and apply the pads to
his bare chest.
◉ It's a hot day and you have responded as an EMS provider to a
report of a woman suddenly collapsing to the floor at a grocery
store. The scene is safe and she is unresponsive to your voice and
touch. What is your next action? Answer: Check her for breathing
and pulse at the same time.
◉ When providing CPR on a child or infant: Answer: Ensure there is
an open airway for rescue breaths.
, ◉ You are performing CPR on your uncle who collapsed at a family
gathering where you are the only trained BLS provider. What is the
recommended approach to deliver rescue breaths? Answer: Use a
CPR mask with a one-way valve.
◉ You are attending to a neighbor who is unresponsive, not
breathing normally, and pulseless. Your spouse has left to activate
EMS while you begin CPR. You have just given your first set of
compressions and are ready to give your initial rescue breaths. What
is your next step? Answer: Inspect the CPR mask to make sure a one-
way valve is in place.
◉ You are caring for a child who is unresponsive but breathing
normally. No trauma is suspected, and the scene is safe. You want to
protect the child's open airway. You have extended the arm nearest
to you up alongside the head, brought the other arm across his chest,
and have the back of his hand against his cheek. What is your next
step? Answer: Grasp the shoulder and hip and roll the child onto his
side.
◉ You are attending to a person who is unresponsive and is
breathing normally. You are alone and need to leave to activate EMS.
Before leaving, what should you do? Answer: Place the person in a
side-lying recovery position.
◉ You respond as an EMS provider to a 51-year-old man found
collapsed near a car with its engine running inside a closed garage.
