After positioning yourself directly above the victim's head, what is the correct order of steps
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
for using a bag-mask device? - correct answer✔✔1. Place the mask on the victim's face,
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
using the bridge of the nose as a guide for the correct position
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
2. Use the E-C clamp technique to hold the mask in place while you lift the jaw to hold the

airway open ||//\\||
3. Squeeze the bag to give breaths (1 second each) while watching for chest rise
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
How are breaths delivered using a bag-mask device? - correct answer✔✔1 breath over 1

second, while watching for chest rise ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
Why an AED is needed - correct answer✔✔- Most sudden cardiac arrests are triggered by
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
abnormal heart rhythms called arrhythmias ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- Two life-threatening arrhythmias that can cause cardiac arrest are pulseless ventricular
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
tachycardia(pVT) and ventricular Fibrillation (VF) where the heart's electrical impulses ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
suddenly become chaotic and ineffective ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- Blow flow to the brain stops abruptly, and the victim loses consciousness
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
-Death usually follows unless a normal heart rhythm and pulse are restored within minutes
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
,Why is an AED needed? - correct answer✔✔To analyze the heart rhythm and provide a

shock
After an AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next? - correct
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
answer✔✔Resume CPR, starting with chest compressions ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
How to Use an AED - correct answer✔✔Step 1: Power on the AED if needed
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- Follow the prompts (as a guide to next steps)
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
Step 2: Choose adult pads for victim 8 years of age and older
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- Attack the adhesive AED pads to the victim's bare chest
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- Follow the diagrams on the pads
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
Step 3: When AED prompts you, clear the victim during analysis. Be sure no one is touching
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
the victim, not even the rescuer in charge of giving breaths
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- Some AEDs will tell you to push a button to allow the AED to begin analyzing the heart
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||

- The AED may take a few seconds to analyze
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
Step 4: ||//\\||
If the AED advises a shock:
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- it will charge and then tell you again to clear the victim
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- Clear the victim before delivering the shock
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- Pressure the shock button
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- The shock will produce a sudden contraction of the victim's muscles
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- After any shock delivery, immediately resume CPR
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
,If no shock is needed:
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- Immediately resume CPR, starting with compressions

What is recommended to minimize interruptions in compressions when using an AED? -
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
correct answer✔✔- Continue with a high-quality CPR until an AED prompts to clear ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
- If no shock is advised and after any shock delivery, immediately resume high-quality CPR,

sequence for 1 or 2 or more rescuers is to verify the scene is safe ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
Check for responsiveness and get help. Tap the victim's should and shout, "Are you OK?
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
If the victim is not responsive, shout for nearby help. If you are alone get the

AED/defibrillator; if someone else is available send that person to get it ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
Next, look for no breathing or only gasping and check the pulse simultaneously. Is a pulse

definitely felt within 10 seconds? ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
If there is normal breathing and a pulse felt, monitor until emergency responders arrive
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
If there is no normal breathing and pulse is felt, provide rescue breathing, Give 1 breath
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
every 6 seconds, or 10 breaths/min. Check the pulse every 2 minutes and if there is no

Once the AED arrives, check the rhythm
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
If the rhythms is shockable, give 1 shock and resume CPR immediately for 2 minutes until

prompted by the AED to allow a rhythm check ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||
If rhythm is nonshockable, resume CPR immediately for 2 minutes, until prompted by the
