| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio in adult two-rescuer CPR? | 30`: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 |
| During CPR, compress the chest straight down, then allow ____________ recoil. | complete |
| During adult CPR, quality compressions should produce a ____________ carotid pulse. | steady |
| A pediatric patient with a heart rate of less than 60 is not perfusing; therefore, ____________ must be done. | CPR |
| The small protrusion at the end of the sternum is called the ____________ ____________. | Xiphoid process |
| Take steps to keep a pediatric patient warm while doing CPR because ____________ can be a major complication. | Hypothermia |
| Only ____________ fibrillation and ____________ tachycardia respond to defibrillation. | ventricular |
| The American Heart Association states that an AED should be attached to any patient in cardiac arrest over ______ _________ of age. | 1 year |
| Ineffective, gasping respirations are known as ____________ breathing. | agonal |

| When checking for pulse, you should feel for no more than ______ seconds. | 10 |
| With a suspected cardiac arrest in an infant, check for a pulse by feeling the ____________ artery. | brachial |
| Give ventilations slowly over one second, with enough air to make the ________ _________. | chest rise |
| List the four “links” in the American Heart Association Chain of Survival. | 1.Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of emergency reponse system. 2. Early CRP with an emphasis on chest compressions 3. Rapid defibrillation 4. Effective advanced life support |
| List four signs of cardiac arrest. | hearts stop beating , unresponsiveness, no breathing , and no pluse |
| List four components for quality compressions in adult CPR. | 1. your hands are in the center of the chest over the lower half of the sternum2. you are compressing the chest at least two inches hard and fast as rate of a 100 to 120 per minute |
| List four components for quality compressions in adult CPR. | 3. you are releasing all pressure off the chest between compressions 4. you see the chest rise and fall during ventilation 5. you interrupt compressions as lttle as possible |
| List the two times your should clear a patient each time while operating an AED. | To analyze and again to shock. |
| List two reasons for NOT starting CPR. | if the patient is reponsive and breathing |
