CPR BLS Exam 2021 AHA
1. It can restore a regular cardiac rhythm (An AED can identify an abnormal heart
rhythm that needs a shock. The AED can then deliver a shock that canconvert a
rhythm back to normal.): Why is defibrillation important?
2. Compressing to a depth of at least 2 inches (When performing chest com-pressions
on an adult (or adolescent), a compression depth of at least 2 inches(5 cm) should be
used.): While performing high-quality CPR on an adult patient, what action should you
ensure is being accomplished?
3. Turn on the AED (The first step for using an AED (when it becomes available)is to
power on the AED if needed. Some devices will power on automatically when you
open the lid or case. Because AEDs vary according to the model and manufacturer, it
is important to become familiar with the AED used in your particular setting.): A 63-
year-old man collapses while mowing the lawn. Heis unresponsive, is not breathing, and
does not have a pulse. A neighbor, who is anEMT, rushes to her with an AED. When the
AED arrives, what is the first step for using it?
4. Follow the AED prompts and press the shock button once everyone is clear.(After
the AED pads are attached to the victim's bare chest, you should followthe AED
prompts. The AED will analyze the victim's heart rhythm and promptyou to deliver a
shock if needed.): After the AED pads are attached to the victim'sbare chest, the AED
prompts you to shock the victim. What is the next step when using an AED?
5. Pull the victim out of the water, and wipe the chest, and use the AED (Special
situations may require the rescuer to take additional actions when placing AED pads
for a victim who is immersed in water. In this case, the victim shouldbe pulled out of the
water. If the chest is covered with some water, it should bequickly wiped before
attaching the AED pads.): What should you do if you needto use an AED on someone
who has been submerged in a pool?
6. Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions (Choking victims with se- vere
airway obstruction may worsen and become unresponsive. If this occurs,then high-
quality CPR must be started immediately, beginning with chest compressions.): A
victim with who is choking becomes unresponsive. What is yourfirst course of action?
7. Observing the chest rise with breaths (Squeeze the bag to give breaths (1 second
each) while watching for chest rise. Deliver each breath over 1 second,with or without
supplementary oxygen.): When using a bag-mask device, how can rescuers ensure that
they are providing effective breaths?
8. 30 compressions to 2 breaths (For 1-rescuer infant CPR, the correct com-
pression-to-ventilation ratio is 30:2.): What ratio for compressions to breaths should be
used for 1-rescuer infant CPR?
1/4
