during high quality CPR, chest compressions should be delivered at the depth of at least on
third the anteroposterior diameter of the chest or about 1.5 inches
T or F T. when performing chest compressions on an infant, the rescuer pushes hard and
fast at a depth of at least one third the anteroposterior diameter of the chest, or about 1.5
inches.
which rescuer is performing chest compressions correctly on and infant during 2 rescuer CPR?
A. 2 fingers on chest technique
B. 2 thumb-encircling hands technique. B. during 2 rescuer CPR, the rescuer doing
compressions should use the 2 thumb-encircling hands technique.
when they are available, the rescuer should use child pads with a pediatric dose attenuator for
infants and children less than 8 years of age.
T or F T. for infants and children less than 8 years of age., the rescuer should use child pads
with pediatric dose attenuator with and AED when they are available.
adult AED pads should never be used on an infant.
T or F F. Adult AED pads may be used on an infant if pediatric pads with a dose attenuator or
manual defibrillator is not available.
adult AED pads deliver a higher shock dose, but a higher shock dose is preferred to no shock for
infants and children less than 8 years of age.
T or F T. although adult pads deliver a higher shock dose, a higher shock dose rather than no
shock is preferred for infants and children less than 8 years of age.
it is acceptable for AED pads to touch or overlap each other when applied to the victims bare
chest.
, T or F F. it is important to place the AED pads so that they do not touch or overlap each
other
your adult friend suddenly collapses at home and you determine that he needs CPR. you begin
CPR, starting with chest compressions, and about to deliver breaths by using the mouth to
mouth technique. you open your friends airway with a head tilt chin lift. which action should
you do next?
A. pinch the nose closed and seal your lips around his mouth before delivering a breath.
B. give 1 breath over 2 seconds
C. if the chest does not rise with your breath, attempt the jaw thrust maneuver
D. take a very deep breath and ensure that a large volume of air is delivered. A. to deliver
mouth to mouth breaths, after opening the victims airway with a head tilt chin lift, pinch the
nose closed with the thumb and index finger. next, take a regular (not deep) breath, and seal
the lips around the victims mouth, creating an airtight seal, then deliver 1 breath over 1 second,
watching the chest rise.
an infant is unresponsive and not breathing but has a strong pulse. EMS has been notified.
there is no barrier device readily available. when attempting to deliver breaths by using the
mouth to mouth and nose technique, the rescuer notices that the chest does not rise. what
should be the most appropriate next step?
A. repeat the head tilt chin lift and try to give a breath that makes the chest rise.
B. begin chest compressions immediately
C. wait for EMS to arrive and assist further
D. press deeply into the soft tissue under the chin alleviate a possible airway block A. to
deliver breaths by using the mouth to mouth and nose technique, maintain a head tilt chin lift
to keep the airway open. then place your mouth over the infants mouth and nose and create an
airtight seal, and blow into the infants nose and mouth (pausing to inhale between breaths),
just enough to make the chest rise with each breath. if the chest does not rise, repeat the head
tilt chin lift to reopen the airway, and try to give a breath that makes the chest rise. it may be
necessary to move the infants head through a range of positions to provide effective breaths.
when the airway is open, give breaths that make the chest rise.
