BASIC LIFE SUPPORT A FINAL TEST 2026
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◍ CPR/AED Differences Between Children and Adults:AIRWAY.
Answer: To open the airway of a child, you would use the same
head-tilt/chin-lift technique asan adult. However, you would only tilt the
head slightly past a neutral position, avoidingany hyperextension or flexion
in the neck. Adult: Tilt past neutral positionChild: Tilt only slightly past
neutral position
◍ placement of AED pads.
Answer: right chest directly under collar bone, left chest under nipple
◍ Upon arriving to the scene, your must first.
Answer: Size up the scene:Is the area safe to enter?Is immediate danger
involved?What happened? What is the nature of the illness/injury?How
many people involved?Is anyone else available to help?What is you initial
impression?
◍ bag-valve-mask (BVM) resuscitator (a 2 man job).
Answer: a handheld device used to ventilate patientsand administer higher
concentrations of oxygen than a pocket mask. While often usedby a single
rescuer, evidence shows that two rescuers are needed to effectively operatea
BVM. One rescuer opens and maintains the airway and ensures the BVM
mask seal,while the second rescuer delivers ventilations by squeezing the
bag slowly with bothhands at the correct intervals to the point of creating
chest rise.
◍ Cardiac arrest.
Answer: There is no breathing, no pulse and the patient is unresponsive.
, Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening situation in which the electrical and/or
mechanical system of the heart malfunctions resulting in complete cessation
of the heart's ability to function and circulate blood efficiently.
◍ A Patient is deemed an "Infant" at what age?.
Answer: 1 year or less
◍ CPR/AED Differences Between Children and Adults:VENTILATIONS.
Answer: Adult: 1 ventilation every 5 to 6 secondsChild & Infant: 1
ventilation every 3 seconds
◍ In the absence of pediatric pads or a pediatric setting on the AED,.
Answer: You may use adult pads for the child. Be sure that the pads will not
touch each other if considering a traditional pad placement on the anterior
chest. Use the anterior and posterior pad placement if the pads may touch
each other. REMEMBER, In the absence of Adult pads - Pediatric pads
supply lower shock & would not be effective for an adult patient & should
not be used.
◍ Agonal breaths.
Answer: Isolated or infrequent gasping that occurs in the absence of normal
breathing in an unconscious patient. These breaths can occur after the
hearthas stopped beating and are considered a sign of cardiac arrest. Agonal
breaths are NOT normal breathing. If the patient is demonstrating agonal
breaths, you need to care for the patient as if he or she is not breathing at all.
◍ Most child-related cardiac arrests occur as a result of.
Answer: a hypoxic event such as an exacerbation of asthma, an airway
obstruction or a drowning.
◍ Respiratory arrest.
Answer: If the patient is not breathing but has a definitive pulse, the patient
is in respiratory arrest.To care for a patient experiencing respiratory arrest,
you must give ventilations.Giving ventilations is a technique to supply
oxygen to a patient who is in respiratoryarrest.
◍ Primary Assessment of Unconscious adult patient.
