FIRST AID/ CPR FINAL EXAM REVIEW
COMPLETE DETAILED CASE STUDY
v What should you do if a person does not give consent? - Call 911 but do not give care
What are the three steps to follow in an emergency? - 1.)Check the scene and check the person.
2.)Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number.
3.)Care for the person based on the conditions you find.
What are the only 3 reasons you should move a victim? - 1.) when you are put in danger
2.) When you have to get to another person who may have a more serious problem
3.) when you need to give proper care
What are the signs of shock? - weakness, dizziness, fatigue, naseua, vomitting
How do you treat Shock? - 1.)Lay the person down and elevate the legs and feet slightly
2.) Keep the person still and don't move him or her unless necessary.
3.) Begin CPR if no signs of life
4.) Loosen tight clothing cover with a blanket if needed
5.) Don't let the person eat or drink anything.
6.) If the person vomits/bleeds from mouth turn onto side to prevent choking, unless you suspect spinal
injury.
When giving a rescue breathe to an adult, you should give the breathe over a period of about how long?
- One second
how many chest compression's should you perform in a minute? - 100
, Why is CPR an important link in the cardiac chain of survival? - It helps circulate blood that contains
oxygen to the vital organs until an AED is ready to use or advanced medical personnel takes over
When should you stop giving CPR? - When there is VISIBLE signs of life
When performing CPR on a child, what should the compression depth be and cycle ratio? - depth should
be 2 inches and cycle ratio of 30 chest compression and 2 rescue breathes
THE CYCLE OF CHEST COMPRESSIONS AND RESCUE BREATHS IN CPR IS: - 30 chest compressions for every
2 rescue breaths
How often should you give rescue breathes to an infant and what should chest compression depth be? -
1 breathe every 3 seconds and depth should be 1 1/2 with 100 compressions per minute
Where should you place your hands when giving chest compressions to an infant? - two or three fingers
in center of chest (lower half of sternum, just below nipple line)
What care should you give to an concious adult who is choking and cannot cough, speak or breathe? -

thrusts? - just above the naval
What should you do for a concious infant who is choking, coughing, and cannot breathe or speak? - give
back blows and chest thrusts to clear airway
What are benefits to early defibrillator? - increases chance of survival
