INTRODUCTION
This assessment is designed to evaluate competency in Basic Life Support (BLS) according
to professional healthcare standards. It measures the ability to recognize life-threatening
emergencies, perform high-quality CPR, and effectively use an automated external
defibrillator (AED). The exam includes multiple-choice and scenario-based questions that
reflect real-world clinical and workplace situations. Emphasis is placed on rapid decision-
making, adherence to resuscitation protocols, and teamwork. Candidates are expected to
demonstrate both foundational knowledge and practical application skills necessary to
respond confidently and effectively during cardiac and respiratory emergencies.
SECTION 1: QUESTIONS 1–35
,1. What is the first step when encountering an unresponsive adult?
A. Begin chest compressions
🔴 B. Check responsiveness and call for help
C. Open airway
D. Give breaths
🔵 Explanation: Checking responsiveness and activating emergency response ensures
timely assistance and proper care initiation.
2. What is the correct compression rate for adult CPR?
A. 80–100/min
🔴 B. 100–120/min
C. 120–140/min
D. 60–80/min
🔵 Explanation: High-quality CPR requires a rate of 100–120 compressions per
minute.
3. What depth should adult chest compressions reach?
A. 1 inch
B. 1.5 inches
🔴 C. At least 2 inches
D. 3 inches
🔵 Explanation: Effective compressions require a depth of at least 2 inches to ensure
adequate circulation.
, 4. What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio for a single rescuer adult?
A. 15:2
🔴 B. 30:2
C. 10:2
D. 20:2
🔵 Explanation: The standard ratio for adult CPR is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
5. When should an AED be used?
A. After 5 cycles of CPR
🔴 B. As soon as it is available
C. Only after EMS arrives
D. After giving breaths
🔵 Explanation: Early defibrillation increases survival and should be done immediately
when available.
6. What is the purpose of chest recoil?
A. Reduce fatigue
🔴 B. Allow heart refilling
C. Improve breathing
D. Prevent injury
🔵 Explanation: Full recoil allows the heart to refill with blood between compressions.
7. What should you do if the chest does not rise during ventilation?
A. Increase breath force
🔴 B. Reposition airway and try again
