YMCA CPR
To observe standard precautions means ✔✔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? ✔✔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? ✔✔Adults outside a hospital
You have responded to a report of an abrupt collapse of a middle-aged man at
a local office building. Your BLS assessment shows the man is unresponsive,
not breathing normally, and has no carotid pulse. This condition is most likely
caused by and treated with: ✔✔Sudden cardiac arrest; CPR, defibrillation
You are providing care to a 23-year-old female found unresponsive on a couch
at a party. She is breathing normally and has a pulse. You should immediately
do which of the following? ✔✔Place her in the side-lying recovery position.
You are attending to a 54-year-old man who collapsed suddenly and is

is no suspicion of trauma and your emergency response protocol is being
activated. What is your next step? ✔✔Immediately provide CPR.
, You are attending to a person who is unresponsive, gasping, but you can

A roofer was electrocuted when his aluminum ladder contacted an energized

cardiac arrest. The AED has analyzed the heart and is indicating a shock is
advised. What should you do? ✔✔Clear the person and immediately deliver
the shock.
After delivering a shock with an AED, you should: ✔✔Immediately resume CPR
and follow any instructions given by the AED.
When two or more providers are performing CPR on an infant, the
compression to ventilation ratio and preferred chest compression method is:
✔✔15:2 with 2 thumbs and the fingers encircling the chest
You have determined a 47-year-old man is unresponsive. In order to assess for
normal breathing, what should you do? ✔✔Look at the face and chest for signs
of breathing.
While eating, an older woman suddenly grabs her throat and cannot make any
