  • 2. 

    The recommended compression depth for an adult is:

    • 1 inch

    • 1.5 inches

    • At least 2 inches

    • None of the above are correct

    Correct Answer
    A. At least 2 inches
    Explanation
    The recommended compression depth for an adult is at least 2 inches. This depth is necessary to ensure effective chest compressions during CPR. Compressing the chest at a depth of at least 2 inches helps to generate enough blood flow to the vital organs and increases the chances of survival. Adequate compression depth is crucial in maintaining circulation and delivering oxygen to the brain and other organs during cardiac arrest. Therefore, compressing the chest at a depth of at least 2 inches is the correct recommendation for adults.

    When assessing the victim, you should feel for a pulse for:

    • 3 seconds

    • 5-10 seconds

    • 15-20 seconds

    • 20-30 seconds

    Correct Answer
    A. 5-10 seconds
    Explanation
    When assessing a victim, feeling for a pulse for 5-10 seconds is recommended. This duration allows for enough time to accurately detect the presence or absence of a pulse. It is important to feel for a pulse as it provides crucial information about the victim's circulation and can help determine the need for immediate medical intervention. Feeling for a pulse for a shorter duration may lead to a false negative result, while feeling for a longer duration may waste valuable time in emergency situations.

    For any victim, the correct compression rate is:

    • At least 120 per minute

    • At least 80 per minute

    • At least 90 per minute

    •  100 to 120 per minute

    Correct Answer
    A.  100 to 120 per minute
    Explanation
    The correct compression rate for any victim is between 100 to 120 per minute. This means that during CPR, the rescuer should aim to perform chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. This ensures that the victim's blood circulation is maintained and increases the chances of survival. Compressions that are too slow may not be effective in providing adequate blood flow, while compressions that are too fast may not allow the heart to fill properly between compressions.

    If you are alone and come upon a person who may need CPR, the FIRST thing you should do is:

    • Activate the emergency response system

    • Begin CPR

    • Go for an AED

    • Make sure the scene is safe

    Correct Answer
    A. Make sure the scene is safe
    Explanation
    In a situation where you are alone and encounter a person who may require CPR, the first thing you should do is ensure the safety of the scene. This is crucial as your own safety should be a priority before providing assistance to others. By assessing the scene for potential hazards or dangers, such as fire, electrical wires, or any other threats, you can minimize the risk to yourself and the person in need. Once you have confirmed that the scene is safe, you can proceed with activating the emergency response system and providing CPR.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The correct sequence in the AHA Adult Chain of Survival is:

    • Activate the emergency response system; CPR; Defibrillation; Advanced Life Support; Post-Cardiac arrest care

    • Activate the emergency response system; CPR; Advanced Life Support; Defibrillation; Post-Cardiac arrest care

    • Activate the emergency response system; Defibrillation; CPR; Advanced life support; Post- Cardiac arrest care.

    • Advanced Life Support; Activate the emergency response system; CPR; Defibrillation; Post-Cardiac arrest care

    Correct Answer
    A. Activate the emergency response system; CPR; Defibrillation; Advanced Life Support; Post-Cardiac arrest care
    Explanation
    The correct sequence in the AHA Adult Chain of Survival starts with activating the emergency response system to ensure that professional help is on the way. This is followed by performing CPR to maintain blood circulation and deliver oxygen to the vital organs. Defibrillation is the next step, which involves using an AED to deliver an electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm. After defibrillation, advanced life support is provided by healthcare professionals to stabilize the patient's condition. Finally, post-cardiac arrest care is given to ensure optimal recovery and prevent further complications.

    The steps you follow in an emergency are performed in the following order:

    • Perform an initial assessment, size up the scene and summon advanced medical personnel.

    • Perform an initial assessment, summon advanced medical personnel and size up the scene.

    • Size up the scene, perform an initial assessment and summon advanced medical personnel.

    • Size up the scene, summon advanced medical personnel and perform an initial assessment.

    Correct Answer
    A. Size up the scene, perform an initial assessment and summon advanced medical personnel.
    Explanation
    In an emergency situation, it is important to first size up the scene to assess the overall situation and identify any potential hazards or risks. This step helps ensure the safety of both the victim and the responder. After sizing up the scene, the next step is to perform an initial assessment of the victim's condition to determine the severity of the injuries or illness. This assessment helps prioritize the necessary medical interventions. Finally, summoning advanced medical personnel should be done after the initial assessment to ensure that the appropriate help is on the way.

    If performing rescue breathing, you should:

    • Avoid excessive ventilation

    • Provide a breath every 2 seconds

    • Do not allow the chest to expand between breaths

    • All of the above are correct

    Correct Answer
    A. Avoid excessive ventilation
    Explanation
    When performing rescue breathing, it is important to avoid excessive ventilation. This means not providing breaths too frequently or forcefully, as it can cause harm to the person receiving rescue breathing. Providing a breath every 2 seconds is a recommended guideline to ensure a proper balance. Additionally, allowing the chest to expand between breaths is crucial to ensure that the air is effectively reaching the lungs. Therefore, all of the above options are correct when it comes to performing rescue breathing.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The correct sequence for basic life support is:

    • Airway, Breathing, Compressions

    • Breathing, Airway, Compression

    • Compressions, Airway, Breathing

    • Breathing, Compressions, Airway

    Correct Answer
    A. Compressions, Airway, Breathing
    Explanation
    The correct sequence for basic life support is Compressions, Airway, Breathing. This order is based on the principle of prioritizing circulation over ventilation. Compressions are performed first to restore blood circulation, followed by clearing the airway to ensure a clear passage for breathing, and finally providing breaths to deliver oxygen to the person in need. This sequence maximizes the chances of survival in a cardiac arrest situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Assessing the victim includes all of the following EXCEPT:

    • Shake his shoulder

    • Look, listen and feel for breathing

    • Yell at him/Call his name

    • Observe his breathing

    Correct Answer
    A. Look, listen and feel for breathing
    Explanation
    Assessing the victim involves various actions to determine their condition. These actions typically include shaking the victim's shoulder to check for responsiveness, yelling at them or calling their name to see if they respond, and observing their breathing. However, looking, listening, and feeling for breathing is not included in the assessment process. This action is specifically used to determine if the victim is breathing or not, and is not part of the initial assessment.
