About This Quiz

Each year, nearly 800,000 people have their first heart attack and an additional 470,000 have another heart attack. The most common signal of a heart attack is persistent chest pain, discomfort or pressure that lasts longer than 3–5 minutes. Other signals include pain, discomfort or pressure felt in or spreading to the other parts of the body, such as the shoulder, arm or jaw; trouble breathing; pale or ashen skin; heavy sweating; dizziness; nausea or vomiting.
The quicker you recognize a cardiac emergency and take action, the better the chance of survival. Your response can help save a life.

Now, you look over and he is clutching his chest and grimacing in pain. You run over and check the scene. It is safe. Randy describes crushing pain in his chest, dizziness and trouble breathing, which you know are signals of heart attack. What should you do next?

    You have performed a few cycles of CPR. Randy still does not show any obvious signs of life. The health club trainer, who is also trained in First Aid/CPR/AED, has just arrived with an AED. Should you stop CPR to apply the AED pads?

    • No

    • Yes

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    While using the AED as quickly as possible is key, so is minimizing interruptions to chest compressions. Therefore, you should continue to provide CPR while the second responder places the AED pads on Randy and gets the machine ready to use. Once on, the AED machine will prompt you as to what to do next.

    • Check for breathing and severe bleeding.

    • Give 30 chest compressions.

    • Tap and shout, “Are you okay?”

    • Since EMS has already been called and are on the way, the next step is to tap and shout, “Are you okay?”

    Correct Answer
    A. Tap and shout, “Are you okay?”
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to tap and shout, "Are you okay?" because the situation has changed with Randy collapsing to the ground. By tapping and shouting, you are trying to assess his responsiveness and determine if he is conscious or not. This step is important in order to provide the appropriate care and relay accurate information to the EMS when they arrive.
