CPR CERTIFICATION UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Question 1.
AED
Correct Answer: Automated External Defibrillator
Question 2.
Foreign-Body Airway Obstruction
Correct Answer: Choking
Question 3.
High-Quality CPR
Correct Answer: - Start compressions within 10 seconds of recognition of cardiac
arrest.
- Push hard, push fast: Compress at a rate of at least 100/min with a depth of at
least 2 inches (5 cm) for adults, approximately 2 inchest (5 cm) for children, and
approximately 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) for infants.
- Allow complete chest recoil after each compression.
- Minimize interruptions in compressions (try to limit interruptions to <10
seconds).
- Give effective breaths that make the chest rise.
- Avoid excessive ventilation.
Question 4.
When do you start chest compressions?
Correct Answer: Within 10 seconds of cardiac arrest.
Question 5.
Compression Rate
Correct Answer: At least 100/min
Question 6.
Compression Depth (For Adults)
Correct Answer: At least 2 inches (5 cm)
Question 7.
Compression Depth (For Children)
Correct Answer: Approximately 2 inches (5 cm)
,Question 8.
Compression Depth (For Infants)
Correct Answer: Approximately 1 1/2 inches (4 cm)
Question 9.
What should you do after each chest compression?
Correct Answer: Allow complete chest recoil
Question 10.
Interruptions in Compressions
Correct Answer: Minimize interruptions to <10 seconds
Question 11.
Effective Breaths
Correct Answer: Make the chest rise and avoid excessive ventilation
Question 12.
AHA
Correct Answer: American Heart Association
Question 13.
ECC
Correct Answer: Emergency Cardiovascular Care
Question 14.
Adult Chain of Survival
Correct Answer: 1. Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the
emergency response system
2. Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with an emphasis on chest
compressions
3. Rapid defibrillation
4. Effective advanced life support
5. Integrated post-cardiac arrest care
Question 15.
CPR
Correct Answer: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
, Question 16.
Pediatric Chain of Survival
Correct Answer: 1. Prevention of arrest
2. Early high-quality bystander CPR
3. Rapid activation of the EMS (or other emergency response) system
4. Effective advanced life support (including rapid stabilization and transport to
definitive care and rehabilitation)
5. Integrated post-cardiac arrest care
Question 17.
BLS Sequence of Steps (CAB)
Correct Answer: Chest Compressions Airway Breathing
Question 18.
Pulse Check
Correct Answer: If the victim is unresponsive and not breathing or only gasping,
healthcare providers may take up to 10 seconds to attempt to feel for a pulse
(brachial in an infant and carotid or femoral in a child).
If within 10 seconds you don't feel a pulse or are not sure if you feel a pulse,
begin chest compressions.
Question 19.
AED for Infants
Correct Answer: For infants, a manual defibrillator is preferred to an AED for
defibrillation.
If a manual defibrillator is not available, an AED equipped with a pediatric dose
attenuator is preferred.
If neither is available, you may use an AED without a pediatric dose attenuator.
Question 20.
If a manual defibrillator is not available for an infant, what should be used?
Correct Answer: If a manual defibrillator is not available, an AED equipped with
a pediatric dose attenuator is preferred.
If neither is available, you may use an AED without a pediatric dose attenuator.
