    The technique used to clear the victim's airway is:

    • Lift chin up, tilt head back.

    • Push chin down, tilt head forward.

    • Lift chin up, turn head sideways.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. Lift chin up, tilt head back.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Lift chin up, tilt head back." This technique is used to clear the victim's airway by opening up the throat and allowing for better airflow. By lifting the chin up and tilting the head back, the airway is straightened, making it easier for the person to breathe. This position helps to prevent the tongue from blocking the airway and allows any obstructions or fluids to drain out, ensuring that the victim can breathe properly.

    The American Heart Association recommends Child CPR for _________________?

    • Any adult with a small frame

    • Infants

    • Children under the age of 8 but not infants

    Correct Answer
    A. Children under the age of 8 but not infants
    Explanation
    The American Heart Association recommends Child CPR for children under the age of 8 but not infants. This is because infants have different anatomical and physiological characteristics compared to older children, requiring different CPR techniques. Child CPR involves performing chest compressions and rescue breaths in a specific ratio to provide effective circulation and oxygenation. Infants, on the other hand, require CPR techniques that are modified for their smaller size and delicate structures. Therefore, it is important to follow the recommended guidelines and provide appropriate CPR based on the age and size of the child.

    When assisting the child with ventilation:

    • Pinch the child's nose close.

    • Do not over-inflate the child's lungs.

    • Allow the child to exhale on his own.

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    When assisting a child with ventilation, it is important to pinch the child's nose close to prevent air from escaping through the nose. Over-inflating the child's lungs can cause harm, so it should be avoided. Allowing the child to exhale on his own is necessary to ensure proper ventilation. Therefore, all of the above options are correct when assisting the child with ventilation.

    The most comon airway obstruction is:

    • Food

    • Foreign objects

    • The tongue

    Correct Answer
    A. The tongue
    Explanation
    The tongue is the most common airway obstruction because it can fall back and block the throat, especially when a person is unconscious or sleeping. This can lead to difficulty breathing or complete blockage of the airway.

    If the child is unconscious and unresponsive, you should immediately:

    • Dial 9-1-1 before starting CPR

    • Perform CPR for 1 to 2 minutes before dialing 9-1-1

    • Perform CPR and do not dial 9-1-1

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Perform CPR for 1 to 2 minutes before dialing 9-1-1
    Explanation
    Performing CPR for 1 to 2 minutes before dialing 9-1-1 is the correct answer because in a situation where a child is unconscious and unresponsive, the first priority is to start CPR immediately. CPR helps to maintain blood flow and oxygenation to the vital organs until professional help arrives. After performing CPR for 1 to 2 minutes, it is then recommended to dial 9-1-1 to ensure that emergency medical services are on their way to provide further assistance.

    The breaths-to-compressions ratio for a child is:

    • 1 breath for every 15 compressions.

    • 2 breaths for every 15 compressions

    • 2 breaths for every 30 compressions

    • 1 breath for every 30 compressions

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 breaths for every 30 compressions
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 2 breaths for every 30 compressions. This means that for every 30 chest compressions, two breaths should be given to the child. This ratio is used in CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) for children. The compressions help to circulate blood and the breaths provide oxygen to the child's lungs. This ratio ensures a balance between chest compressions and breaths, maximizing the chances of resuscitating the child.

    When administering compressions to a child, remember:

    • 1 hand / 1 inch

    • 1 hand / 2 inches

    • 2 hands / 1 inch

    • 2 hands / 2 inches

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 hand / 1 inch
    Explanation
    When administering compressions to a child, it is important to remember to use one hand and compress to a depth of one inch. This is the correct technique for providing effective chest compressions in a child. Using two hands or compressing to a depth of two inches may be too forceful and could cause harm to the child.
