,when using a pocket mask, where should the rescuer be positioned? - VERIFIED ANSWER at the side
of the victim
A bag-mask device is used to provide____to a victim who is not breathing or not breathing normally.
- VERIFIED ANSWER positive-pressure ventilation
How are breaths delivered using a bag-mask device? - VERIFIED ANSWER 1 breath over 1 second,
while watching for chest rise
Two life-threatening arrhythmias that can cause cardiac arrest are pulseless ventricular tachycardia
and __________ - VERIFIED ANSWER ventricular fibrillation
After an AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next? - VERIFIED ANSWER Resume CPR,
starting with chest compressions
How do you open the airway for breaths if a single rescuer is present? - VERIFIED ANSWER Head tilt-
chin lift
After positioning yourself directly above the victim's head, what is the correct order of steps for
using a bag-mask device? - VERIFIED ANSWER 1. Place the mask on the victim's face, using the
bridge of the nose as a guide for the correct position.
2. Use the E-C clamp techinque to hold the maks in place while you life the jaw to hold the airway
open
3. Squeeze the bad to give breaths (1 second each) while watching for chest rise
Why is an AED needed? - VERIFIED ANSWER to analyze the heart rhythm and provide a shock
After an AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next? - VERIFIED ANSWER Resume CPR,
starting with chest compressions
When should the rescuer operating the AED clear the victim? - VERIFIED ANSWER During analysis
and before shock delivery
Where should AED pads be placed in the anteroposterior placement for adults and children 8 years
and older? - VERIFIED ANSWER Left side of the back and Left side of the chest
, You and your colleague respond to an adult victim who is unresponsive. After assessing that the
victim is not breathing and has no pulse, what do you instruct your colleague to do? - VERIFIED
ANSWER Activate the emergency response system and get the AED
You tap and shout to check for responsiveness, but the patient does not respond. What is your next
step after calling for help? - VERIFIED ANSWER Check for breathing and a pulse
After checking for breathing and a pulse, you find that the patient is not breathing normally but had
a pulse and needs rescue breathing. What is the correct ventilation rate? - VERIFIED ANSWER 1
breath every 6 seconds, or about 10 breaths per minute
After 4 minutes of rescue breathing, no pulse is present during a pulse check. What immediate
actions should be taken? - VERIFIED ANSWER Immediately begin CPR and turn on the AED
As you are providing CPR, your colleague arrives, turns on the AED, and follows the prompts. The
AED analyzes the rhythm and does not advise a shcok. After you immediately resume CPR, how do
you continute treating the patient? - VERIFIED ANSWER Continue CPR until prompted by the AED to
allow a rhythm check, the code team arrives, or the patient starts to move
Where should AED pads be placed in the anterolateral placement for adults and children 8 years or
older? - VERIFIED ANSWER Below the right collarbone and Side of the left nipple

During CPR on a child, interruptions to chest compressions should be limited to no more than
______ seconds - VERIFIED ANSWER 10
