1. What is the rate for chest compressions per minute for any age?
A) 80 compressions per minute
B) 100 compressions per minute
C) 120 compressions per minute
D) 60 compressions per minute
Answer: B) 100 compressions per minute
Explanation: The recommended rate for chest compressions in CPR (for adults, children, and
infants) is 100–120 compressions per minute to maintain adequate blood circulation.
2. The compression-ventilation ratio for one or two rescuers for ADULT CPR is?
A) 15 compressions to 2 ventilation breaths
B) 30 compressions to 2 ventilation breaths
C) 5 compressions to 1 ventilation breath
D) 20 compressions to 1 ventilation breath
Answer: B) 30 compressions to 2 ventilation breaths
Explanation: For adult CPR, the standard ratio is 30:2 for both single and multiple rescuers.
3. The compression-ventilation ratio for one or two rescuer CHILD or INFANT CPR is?
A) 30 compressions to 2 ventilation breaths
B) 15 compressions to 2 ventilation breaths
C) 5 compressions to 1 ventilation breath
D) 20 compressions to 1 ventilation breath
Answer: B) 15 compressions to 2 ventilation breaths
Explanation: For child/infant CPR, the ratio is 15:2 when there are two rescuers. (A single
rescuer uses 30:2 for all ages.)
4. Where should the hands be placed on the chest for adult CPR?
, A) Upper half of the breastbone
B) Directly over the heart
C) Lower half of the breastbone
D) On the ribs to the side of the chest
Answer: C) Lower half of the breastbone
Explanation: Hands should be placed on the lower half of the sternum (breastbone) for
effective compressions.
5. What is the preferred hand technique for two-rescuer infant CPR?
A) One-handed technique
B) Two-finger technique
C) Two thumb-encircling hands technique
D) Palm-over-fist technique
Answer: C) Two thumb-encircling hands technique

CPR as it provides better depth and control.
6. What is the depth of compressions on an adult?

C) 2 inches
D) 2.5 inches
Answer: C) 2 inches
Explanation: Adult compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep to ensure effective
