Overview:
This Basic Life Support (BLS) practice examination is a comprehensive, AHA-aligned
assessment designed to evaluate knowledge and clinical decision-making related to high-quality
CPR, AED use, airway management, rescue breathing, choking response, and team-based
resuscitation. The exam consists of 100 most-tested, scenario-based multiple-choice questions,
each including the correct answer in bold with a clear CORRECT 100% SOLUTION. It
emphasizes adult, child, and infant life support, special populations, and emergency response
principles to prepare learners for successful BLS certification and real-world emergency care
1.
What is the first action when you find an unresponsive adult?
A. Start chest compressions
B. Check pulse
C. Ensure scene safety and check responsiveness
D. Get the AED
CORRECT 100% SOLUTION: Scene safety and responsiveness
must be assessed before initiating care.
2.
What is the correct compression rate for adult CPR?
A. 80–100/min
B. 90–110/min
,C. 100–120/min
D. 120–140/min
CORRECT 100% SOLUTION: AHA recommends compressions
at 100–120 per minute for effective perfusion.
3.
What is the correct compression depth for an adult?
A. 1 inch
B. 1.5 inches
C. At least 2 inches (5 cm)
D. 3 inches
CORRECT 100% SOLUTION: Adequate depth ensures sufficient

rescuer adult
CPR?
A. 15:2
B. 30:2 C. 20:2
D. 30:1
CORRECT 100% SOLUTION: AHA recommends 30

,5.
When should the AED be used?
A. After 5 minutes of CPR
B. Only when EMS arrives
C. As soon as it is available
D. After checking pulse for 30 seconds
CORRECT 100% SOLUTION: Early defibrillation greatly
increases survival.
6.
What is the correct hand placement for adult chest compressions?
A. Over the ribs
B. Lower half of sternum
C. Center of chest on the lower half of the sternum
D. Upper chest
CORRECT 100% SOLUTION: Proper placement maximizes
compression effectiveness and reduces injury.
7.
