NCM 109 RLE: CPR EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH CRRECT
ANSWERS
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CORE CONCEPT OF CPR? - Answer- - Oxygen to
the Brain
How does compression helps in resuscitating a patient? - Answer- - Compressions
create blood flow by increasing intrathoracic pressure and directly compress the heart;
generate blood flow and oxygen delivery to the myocardium and brain
What is the CPR sequence? - Answer- - CAB
- Compression, Airway, Breathing
It represents a heart that is actively pumping blood, most often recognized by the
presence of a pulse in the neck (or other peripheral pulses): - Answer- - Circulation
What are the signs of "No circulation"? - Answer- - UNRESPONSIVE, NOT
BREATHING, NOT MOVING AND POOR SKIN COLOR (CYANOTIC)
What is the sign of life? - Answer- - Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC)
What is the compression rate of CPR? - Answer- - 100-120/min
Compression depth for Adults and Adolescents: - Answer- - 2 in (5 cm)
Note: Don't exceed beyond 2.4 in (6 cm)
Compression depth for Children (1 y/o to puberty)? - Answer- - 2 in (5 cm); 1/3 AP
diameter of chest
Compression depth for infant (age less 1 yr, excluding Newborn): - Answer- - 1.5 in (4
cm); 1/3 AP diameter of chest
What is the proper positioning in Adult CPR? - Answer- - Kneel facing the victim's chest
- Place heel of one hand on the center of the chest
- Place the heel of second hand on top of the first so that hands are overlapped and
parallel
How many hands to use for small and big child? - Answer- -Small- 1 hand
-Big- 2 hands
, What is the Ratio for Compression and Rescue Breathes for single and 2-man rescuer
for Child CPR? - Answer- - Single - 30:2
- 2 man- 15:2
How to do chest compression for an infant during CPR (single and 2-rescuers)? -
Answer- Single:
•Using Two fingers (middle and Ring), flexing at the wrist
(lone rescuer), place it just below the nipple line, lower
half of sternum
2-rescuer:
• 2 thumb-encircling hands
technique (two rescuers)
This must be done to ensure an open passage for
spontaneous breathing or mouth to mouth during CPR - Answer- Open AIRWAY
How to open airway for victims with no suspected spinal injury? - Answer- Head-
Tilt/Chin-Lift Maneuver
How to do Head-Tilt/Chin-Lift Maneuver? - Answer- Tilt the head back with your one
hand and lift up the chin
with your other hand (using index and middle finger)
A technique that can be done by at least two highly
trained BLS providers (if suspected with cervical trauma). - Answer- Jaw-Thrust
Maneuver
How to do Jaw-thrust Maneuver? - Answer- Place your index and middle fingers to
physically push the posterior aspects of the lower jaw upwards while their thumbs push
down on the chin to open the mouth.
Rationale:
When the mandible is displaced forward, it pulls the tongue forward and prevents it from
obstructing the entrance to the trachea.
Since maintaining open airway is still a MUST during CAB (Compression, Airway,
Breathing), how will you protect yourself from possible transmission of COVID-19 before
initiating CPR? - Answer- Cover the victim's mouth and nose with cloth or
mask before performing chest compression.
No. of cycles to be done before reassessing the victim? - Answer- 5 cycles or 2 minutes
With concern to COVID-19, what will you do if you are unwilling or unable to give rescue
breathes? - Answer- Perform Hands-Only CPR until Advanced Medical
Help arrives.
