BLS CPR Exam Prep

BLS CPR Exam Prep A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response system. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt. What actions should occur next, to support a team-based resuscitation attempt? - 2 rescuers alternate giving high-quality chest compressions How do you perform chest compressions when providing high-quality CPR to a child victim? - By compressing the chest at least one third the depth of the chest, about 2 inches (5 cm) Which action do you perform to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant? - Perform CPR, and look in the mouth for the obstructing object After the AED pads are attached to the victim's bare chest, the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step when using the AED? - Follow the AED prompts What should you do it you need to use an AED on someone who has been submerged in water? - Pull the victim out of the water, and wipe the chest How can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective breaths when using a bag-valve mask? - Observing the chest rise with breaths While performing high-quality CPR on an adult, what action should you ensure is being accomplished? - Compressing to a depth of at least 2 inches.

When performing CPR on an unresponsive choking victim, what modifications should you incorporate? - Each time you open the airway, look for the obstructing object "Members of the team know their boundaries and ask for help before the resuscitation attempt worsens." Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed - Knowing your limitations Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR? - The heart will adequately refill between compressions Three rescuers are available at a scene. Two rescuers begin high-quality CPR while the third rescuer leaves to get the AED. What action supports 2-rescuer CPR - Alternating the compressor role every 2 minutes What is a consideration when you are using an AED? - You should never remove a transdermal medication patch before applying AED pads How do you perform chest compressions when providing high-quality CPR to a child victim? - By compressing the chest at least one third the depth of the chest, about 2 inches (5 cm) A 67-year-old man is found unresponsive, not breathing,
