To observe standard precautions means - ANS-✔✔To follow a set of infection control practices used
whether or not an infection is suspected
Prevention of airway and breathing emergencies; early CPR with an emphasis on effective rescue
breaths and, if needed, rapid defibrillation; early activation of the appropriate emergency response
protocol; effective BLS and ALS care and transportation; and effective post-cardiac arrest care at a
hospital are the links in which chain of survival? - ANS-✔✔Children and infants
Early recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of an emergency response protocol; immediate high
quality CPR; rapid defibrillation; effective BLS and ALS care and transportation; and effective postcardiac
arrest care at a hospital are the links in which chain of survival? - ANS-✔✔Adults outside a hospital
