As you check for a pulse and breathing, you notice that the man is gasping for air and making snorting sounds. You do not feel a pulse. Next action? | Start high-quality CPR, beginning with chest compressions. |
| What is the ratio of chest compressions to breaths when providing CPR to an adult? | 30 compressions to 2 breaths |
| What are the rate and depth for chest compressions on an adult? | A rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute and a depth of at least 2 inches. |
| What action should you take when more rescuers arrive? | Assign tasks to other rescuers and rotate compressors every 2 minutes or more frequently if need to avoid fatigue. |
| If you suspect that an unresponsive victim has head or neck ntrauma, what is the preferred method for opening the airway? | Jaw thrust |
| What is CCF? | Proportion of time that rescuers perform chest compressions during CPR. |

| What action should you take while the AED is analyzing the heart rhythm? | Stand clear of the victim. |
| After performing high-quality CPR for 5 minutes, the Team Leader frequently interrupts chest compressions to check for a pulse. Which action demonstrates constructive intervention? | Suggest resuming chest compressions without delay. |
| The Team Leader asks you to perform bag-mask ventilation during a resuscitation attempt, but you have not perfected that skill. What would be an appropriate action to acknowledge your limitations? | Tell the Team Leader you are not comfortable performing that task. |
| What is the appropriate action to demonstrate closed=loop communication when the Team Leader assigns you a task? | Repeat back to the Team Leader the task assigned to you. |
| What is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio for a single rescuer of a 3-year-old child? | 30 compressions to 2 breaths |
| What is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio for a 7-year-old child when 2 or more rescuers are present? | 15 compressions to 2 breaths |
| For what age victim is the 2 thumb-encircling hands technique recommended? | An infant younger than 1 year |
| What is the correct chest compression depth for a child? | At least one third the depth of the chest, or approximately 2 inches (5cm) |
| What is the correct chest compression depth for an infant? | At least one third the depth of the chest, or approximately 1 1/2 inches (4cm) |
| What should you do when using an AED on an infant or a child younger than 8 years of age? | Use adult AED pads if the AED does not have child pads. |

| What is important to remember about AED pad placement on infants? | You may need to place 1 pad on the chest and 1 on the back, according to the diagrams on the pads. |
| Which victim would need only rescue breathing? | No breathing and a pulse |
| How often should rescue breaths be given in infants and children when a pulse is felt? | 1 breath every 2 to 3 seconds |

| Which is the preferred technique for giving rescue breaths to an infant? | Mouth-to-mouth-and-nose |
| Which of these is not an opioid? | Naloxone |
| Your roommate uses opioids. You find him unresponsive with no breathing, but he has a strong pulse. You suspect an opioid overdose. A friend is phoning 911 and looking for the naloxone autoinjector. What action should you take? | Provide rescue breathing: 1 breath every 6 seconds. |
| Unresponsive 56-year old woman has been taking hydrocodone for postsurgical pain. She not breathing and no pulse. U notice her med bottle is empty and sus opioid emergency.

| How are rescue actions for cardiac arrest due to drowning different from the rescue actions for sudden cardiac arrest? | Unlike sudden cardiac arrest, the priority in a drowning is to give the person oxygen. |
| You are attempting to rescue a person who has experienced drowning. What do you do if there are no signs of breathing? | Open the airway and administer rescue breaths. |
| Which of the following is a sign that someone is experiencing anaphylaxis? | Life-threatening breathing or circulation problems |
| You notice someone showing all the signs of a severe allergic reaction. What is the first and most important action you should take? | Use the epinephrine device. |
