practice?
A. To diagnose all medical conditions
B. To provide immediate care and prevent deterioration
C. To replace hospital treatment
D. To prescribe medications
Correct Answer: B. To provide immediate care and prevent
deterioration
Rationale: Emergency care focuses on preserving life,
preventing worsening conditions, and preparing the patient for
further treatment.
2. What does the acronym DRABC represent in first aid?
A. Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, Circulation
B. Diagnose, Rescue, Assess, Bandage, Check
C. Danger, Recovery, Airway, Blood, Care
D. Detect, Respond, Assess, Breathing, Control
Correct Answer: A. Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing,
Circulation
,Rationale: DRABC is a structured approach used to assess and
manage a casualty safely.
3. Before approaching a casualty, the first action should be to:
A. Start CPR immediately
B. Check for danger at the scene
C. Give fluids
D. Move the casualty
Correct Answer: B. Check for danger at the scene

B. 12–20 breaths per minute
C. 30–40 breaths per minute
D. 50–60 breaths per minute
Correct Answer: B. 12–20 breaths per minute
Rationale: A normal adult respiratory rate is generally between

7. The main purpose of CPR is to:
A. Cure heart disease
B. Maintain circulation and oxygen supply
C. Reduce body temperature
D. Treat fractures
, Correct Answer: B. Maintain circulation and oxygen supply
Rationale: CPR helps maintain blood flow and oxygen delivery
until advanced care arrives.
8. The correct compression rate for adult CPR is
approximately:
A. 20–40 compressions per minute
B. 60–80 compressions per minute
C. 100–120 compressions per minute
D. 150–180 compressions per minute
Correct Answer: C. 100–120 compressions per minute
Rationale: Effective CPR requires chest compressions at 100–
120 per minute.
9. The recovery position is used for a casualty who is:
A. Unconscious but breathing normally
B. Not breathing
C. Having a cardiac arrest
D. Bleeding severely
Correct Answer: A. Unconscious but breathing normally
Rationale: The recovery position helps maintain an open airway
