Which of the following is an important factor to ensure that the best-quality CPR is being performed? | Full recoil of the chest should occur with each compression. |
What is the application of an electric shock to correct lethal heart arrhythmias? | Defibrillation |
Which one of the following heart rhythms require a shock from an AED? | Ventricular fibrillation |
Typically, where should AED adhesive pads be placed? | Upper right chest; Side of chest a few inches below the left armpit. |
You find an unresponsive patient with no pulse. For how many minutes should you perform CPR before rechecking a pulse? | Two |
What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio in pediatric two-rescuer CPR? | 15:2 |

Without a pulse, when does irreversible brain damage occur? | 4 to 6 minutes |
Where is the pulse checked in an unresponsive adult patient? | Carotid |
Where is the pulse checked in an unresponsive infant patient? | Brachial |
You find a 58-year-old male unresponsive, breathless, and pulseless. How many compressions per minute should you provide? | 100-120 |
You find a 5 year old female unresponsive, breathless, and pulseless. How many compressions per minute should you provide? | 100-120 |
What is the depth of compressions for an adult complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath? | Compressions are not indicated. The patient may be having a heart attack. |
What is the depth of compressions for an adult who is found unresponsive, breathless, and pulseless? | 2"-2.4" |
What should you and your partner do first? * | pay attention to the scenario. |
What other actions should you perform? * | start CPR,then call for extra help and tell my partner to have the AED ready if anything , then put on the pad and shock him after the shock continue compressions |
Immediately after a shock is delivered via the AED, what should you do next? * | Continue compressions 30-2 |
