Signs and symptoms of a heart attack include—
- A.
Chest pain that lasts less than 1 minute.
- B.
Dry, red, hot skin.
- C.
Inability to speak in full sentences.
- D.
Nausea, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
Correct Answer
D. Nausea, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.Explanation
The signs and symptoms listed in the question are all potential indicators of a heart attack. However, the only option that specifically relates to the cardiovascular system is "nausea, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing." Chest pain can be a symptom of a heart attack, but the duration mentioned in the question (less than 1 minute) is not typically associated with a heart attack. Dry, red, hot skin is not a common symptom of a heart attack, and inability to speak in full sentences can be a symptom of various conditions but is not specific to a heart attack. Therefore, the correct answer is "nausea, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing."Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT a specific link in the Cardiac Chain of Survival?
- A.
Early CPR
- B.
Early defibrillation
- C.
Early recognition of the emergency and early access to EMS
- D.

Correct Answer
D. Early rescueExplanation
The Cardiac Chain of Survival is a series of actions that, when performed in order, can greatly increase the chances of survival for someone experiencing cardiac arrest. The specific links in the chain include early recognition of the emergency and early access to EMS, early CPR, early defibrillation, and early advanced care. "Early rescue" is not a specific link in the Cardiac Chain of Survival, as it is a general term that encompasses all the other specific links.Rate this question:

The pads of an AED for an adult should be placed—
- A.
On the lower right chest and lower left side.
- B.
On the lower right side and upper left chest.
- C.
On the upper right chest and lower left side.
- D.
On the upper right and upper left side of the chest.
Correct Answer
C. On the upper right chest and lower left side.Explanation
The correct answer is on the upper right chest and lower left side. This placement of the pads ensures that the electrical shock from the AED passes through the heart, which is located in the center of the chest. Placing the pads in this manner allows for the most effective delivery of the shock to potentially restore the heart's normal rhythm.Rate this question:

Since a child’s chest may be small, it is alright to defibrillate if the pads touch each other when placed on the chest.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
It is not alright to defibrillate if the pads touch each other when placed on a child's chest. The pads should be placed at least one inch apart to ensure the effective delivery of the electrical shock to the heart. Placing the pads too close together can result in ineffective defibrillation and may not restore the heart's normal rhythm. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

- C.
Hypothermia
- D.

Correct Answer
A. RestlessnessExplanation

- A.
21%
- B.
16%

Correct Answer
B. 16%Explanation
When we inhale, the air we breathe in contains approximately 21% oxygen. However, when we exhale, the air we breathe out contains a lower percentage of oxygen, around 16%. This is because our body uses some of the oxygen we inhale for various metabolic processes, and what is left is exhaled along with other gases such as carbon dioxide.Rate this question:
