QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS (VERIFIED
ANSWRS) Q&A 2027 |INSTANT DOWNOAD PDF
1. What is the primary goal of Basic Life Support (BLS)?
A. Treat chronic medical conditions
B. Provide immediate care to maintain life until advanced care
arrives
C. Diagnose cardiac diseases
D. Replace hospital treatment
Rationale: BLS focuses on early recognition, CPR, defibrillation,
and emergency care to support breathing and circulation until
more advanced medical help is available.
Correct Answer: B. Provide immediate care to maintain life until
advanced care arrives
2. What is the first action a rescuer should take when
approaching an emergency scene?
A. Begin CPR immediately
B. Check for breathing
C. Ensure the scene is safe
D. Give medications
,Rationale: Rescuers must first assess scene safety to avoid
becoming another victim.
Correct Answer: C. Ensure the scene is safe
3. Which sequence represents the correct BLS Chain of
Survival for adults?
A. CPR, recovery, diagnosis, medication
B. Recognition, CPR, defibrillation, advanced care
C. Medication, surgery, CPR, discharge
D. Assessment, transport, diagnosis, treatment
Rationale: Early recognition, early CPR, and rapid defibrillation
are critical links in survival.
Correct Answer: B. Recognition, CPR, defibrillation, advanced
care
4. What should a rescuer do after confirming an adult is
unresponsive and not breathing normally?
A. Wait for help
B. Start CPR and activate emergency response
C. Give water
D. Place the person in a chair
Rationale: Immediate CPR and emergency activation improve
survival chances.
,Correct Answer: B. Start CPR and activate emergency response
5. What is the recommended compression rate for adult CPR?
A. 40–60 compressions/minute
B. 60–80 compressions/minute
C. 100–120 compressions/minute
D. 140–160 compressions/minute
Rationale: High-quality CPR requires chest compressions at a
rate of 100–120 per minute.
Correct Answer: C. 100–120 compressions/minute
6. What is the recommended depth of chest compressions for
an adult?
A. About 1 cm
B. About 2 inches (5 cm)
C. About 4 inches (10 cm)
D. Any depth is acceptable

7. Where should hands be placed during adult chest
compressions?
, A. Upper abdomen
B. Left side of the chest
C. Center of the chest on the lower half of the sternum
D. Over the ribs
Rationale: Correct hand placement maximizes blood flow and
reduces injury risk.
Correct Answer: C. Center of the chest on the lower half of the
sternum
8. What is the recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio
for single-rescuer adult CPR?
A. 15:1
B. 20:2
C. 30:2
D. 50:5
Rationale: Adult CPR uses 30 compressions followed by 2
breaths.
Correct Answer: C. 30:2
9. What is the purpose of an Automated External Defibrillator
(AED)?
A. Measure blood pressure
B. Deliver medication
