CHAPTER 14: BLS RESUSCITATION WITH
QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+ (2026 UPDATE)
A 60-year-old man is found to be unresponsive, pulseless, and apneic. You should:-
A. withhold CPR until he is defibrillated
B. start CPR and transport immediately
C. begin CPR until an AED is available
D. determine if he has a valid living will. - answer-begin CPR until an AED is available
You are off duty at a park when you witness an apparently healthy 12-year-old child
suddenly collapse. There are no bystanders around and your mobile phone is in your
car. After confirming that the child is in cardiac arrest, you should
a. perform chest compressions only until a bystander arrives
b. call 9-1-1 and then return to begin CPR on the child.
c. perform CPR for 2 minutes and then call 9-1-1.
d. deliver five rescue breaths before starting chest compressions - answer-call 9-1-1 and
then return to begin CPR on the child.
Your partner is performing one-rescuer CPR on a middle-aged woman in cardiac arrest.
When you apply the AED pads, you note that she has a medication patch over the same
area where one of the AED pads will be placed. You should:Select one:
A. apply the AED pad at least 1 inch away from the medication patch to avoid skin
burns.
B. remove the medication patch, wipe away any medication residue, and apply the AED
pads.
C. move the patch to another area of the patient's chest and then properly apply the
AED pads.
, D. continue CPR until you can determine the name of the medication contained in the
patch. - answer-remove the medication patch, wipe away any medication residue, and
apply the AED pads.
The impedance threshold device (ITD) may improve circulation during active
compression-decompression CPR by:
A. drawing all of the air out of the lungs in between chest compressions, which causes
positive intrathoracic pressure and a reduction of blood return to the right side of the
heart.
B. maximizing the amount of air in the lungs following chest recoil, which hyperinflates
the lungs and forces more blood from the ventricle during each compression.
C. limiting the amount of air that enters the lungs during the recoil phase between chest
compressions, which results in negative intrathoracic pressure and improved cardiac
filling.
D. maintaining increased intrathoracic pressure during the downward stroke of each
chest compression, which forces more blood from both of the ventricles. - answer-
Limiting the amount of air that enters the lungs during the recoil phase between chest
compressions, which results in negative intrathoracic pressure and improved cardiac
filling.
which of the following is not an indication to stop CPR once you have started?
A. physician directs you to do so
B. pulse and respirations return
C. care is transferred to a bystander
D. you are physically exhausted - answer-Care is transferred to a bystander
when ventilating an apneic adult with a bag mask device, you should deliver each
breath:
A. while watching for adequate chest rise
