YMCA CPR EXAM 1
To observe standard precautions means: - ANSTo follow a set of infection control practices used whether
or not an infection is suspected
Prevention of airway and breathing emergencies; early CPR with an emphasis on effective rescue breaths
and, if needed, rapid defibrillation; early activation of the appropriate emergency response protocol;
effective BLS and ALS care and transportation; and effective post-cardiac arrest care at a hospital are the
links in which chain of survival? - ANSChildren and infants
Early recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of an emergency response protocol; immediate high
quality CPR; rapid defibrillation; effective BLS and ALS care and transportation; and effective postcardiac
arrest care at a hospital are the links in which chain of survival? - ANSAdults outside a hospital
You have responded to a report of an abrupt collapse of a middle-aged man at a local office building.
