Your breathing and pulse check of an unresponsive patient reveals that the patient is
not breathing but has a central pulse. What is your appropriate next action? -
AnswerEnsure an adequate airway and support oxygenation and ventilation as
needed
You need to obtain intraosseous (IO) access. Identify the preferred site. -

patient who requires ventilation with a bag-valve-mask (BVM) resuscitator? -
AnswerA nasopharyngeal airway (NPA)
You have just placed an advanced airway. How should you verify correct placement? -
AnswerObserve for bilateral chest rise

Mr. Goodman is unresponsive. Valerie must now simultaneously check for breathing
and a central pulse for no more than how many seconds? - AnswerAssess for
breathing and a central pulse for no more than 10 seconds.

at least 100 to 120 per minute and a depth of at least 2 inches (or no more than 2.4
inches deep if using a feedback device).
Allow the chest to fully recoil after each compression.
avoiding excessive ventilations.

avoid placing the AED pads directly over the pacemaker or ICD. True or false? -
AnswerTrue
