"Members of the team know their boundaries and ask for help before the resuscitation
attempt worsens." Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team
dynamics listed. - ANS-Knowing your limitations
"The team functions smoothly when all team members know their positions, functions,
and tasks during a resuscitation attempt. Match this statement with the most appropriate

A 53-year-old woman collapses while gardening. She is unresponsive, is not breathing,
and does not have a pulse. A neighbor, who is an emergency medical technician,

A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a
single rescuer determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and
activates the emergency response system. He immediately begins performing
high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt.
What actions should occur next, to support a team-based resuscitation attempt? -
ANS-2 rescuers alternate giving high-quality chest compressions
A middle-aged man collapses. You and a second rescuer go to the victim and find that
he is unresponsive, is not breathing, and does not have a pulse. Which action is most
likely to positively impact this victim's survival? - ANS-Performing high-quality CPR
A victim with a foreign-body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive. What is your
first course of action? - ANS-Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions
After the AED pads are attached to the victim's bare chest, the AED detects ventricular
fibrillation. What is the next step when using an AED? - ANS-Follow the AED prompts
