BLS COMPREHENSIVE STUDY GUIDE WITH
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
◉ assigning your team members to individual roles and outlining
what each member needs to do during the resuscitation attempt
is an example of what element of high-performance team
dynamics?
Answer: Clear roles and responsibilities
◉ You and your team have initiated compressions and ventilation.
The AED was attached, and "no shock" was advised. Your team has
continued CPR for 1 minute. You tell your team in a respectful,
clear, and calm voice " Leslie, during the next analysis by the AED,
I want you and Justin to switch positions and I want you to
perform compressions for the next cycle" Lesli replies, " Got it.
Next time the AED analyzes, I will switch with Justin and assume
the role of the compressor." This is an example of which element
of high-performance team dynamics?
Answer: Closed-loop communication
◉ as team leader you notice that your compressor is pushing too
fast. It is important to correct actions that are incorrect, but it is
also important to be tactful when delivering this correction to a
colleague. This is an example of what element of team dynamics?
Answer: Constructive intervention
, ◉ Which of the following are resuscitation triangle roles in a high-
performance team?
Answer: Airway, Compressor, AED/Monitor/Defibrillator
◉ How can you achieve a high chest compression fraction?
Answer: Minimize pauses in chest compressions
◉ Your adult friend suddenly collapse at home, and you
determine she needs CPR. You begin CPR, starting with chest
compressions, and are about to deliver breaths by using mouth-
to-mouth breaths. You open the airway with a head tilt-chin lift.
What is the sequence of your next actions?
Answer: 1. Pinch the nose and seal your lips around the victim's
mouth
2. Give 1 breath and blow for about 1 second
3. Watch for chest rise while giving the breath
4. Give a second breath (blowing for about 1 second, watching for
chest rise)
◉ What is the indication for mouth-to-mouth rescue breaths?
Answer: When a barrier device is not available
◉ Rescue Breathing: Adults
Answer: - Give 1 breath every 6 seconds (10 breaths/min).
