Basic Life Support Exam B
1. Each time you open the airway look for the obstructing object: When per-forming
CPR on an unresponsive choking victim what modification should you incorporate?
2. Knowing your limitations: 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.
3. It eliminates the abnormal heart rhythm: Rapid defibrillation is a link in the adult Chain
of Survival. Why is this important to survival?
4. The heart will adequately refill between compressions: Why is allowing com- plete
chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR?
5. Performing high-quality: Which action is most likely to positively impact this
victim s survival?
6. You need to compress at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute.: You and anotherrescuer
begin CPR. After a few cycles, you notice the chest compression rate is slowing. What
should you say to offer constructive feedback?
7. Begin CPR; the gasps are not normal breathing: You witness someone sud- denly
collapse. The person is unresponsive, you hear gasping sounds, and there isno pulse. What
should you do next?
8. Give sets of 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts: You have determined that the infant is
responsive and choking with a severe airway obstruction. How do you relievethe airway
obstruction?
9. Perform CPR, and look in the mouth for the obstructing object: Which actiondo you
perform to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant?
10. By compressing the chest at least one third the depth of the chest, about 2 inches (5
cm): How do you perform chest compressions when providing high-qual- ity CPR to a child
victim?
11. Turn on the AED: When the AED arrives, what is the first step for using it?
12. Follow the AED prompt: After the AED pads are attached to the victims bare chest,
the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step when using anAED?
13. Compressing to a depth of at least 2 inches: While performing high-quality CPR on
an adult, what action should you ensure is being accomplished?
14. Clear roles and responsibilities: The team functions smoothly when all team
members know their positions, functions, and tasks during a resuscitation attempt. Match
this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed.
15. Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions: A victim with a foreign-body airway
obstruction becomes unresponsive. What is your first course of action?
16. 2 rescuers alternate giving high-quality chest compressions: What actions should
occur next, to support a team-based resuscitation attempt?
