1. What ratio for compressions to breaths should be used for 1-rescuer infant CPR?
2. What should you do if you need to use an AED on someone who has been submerged in water?
3. What actions should occur next to support a team-based resuscitation attempt?
Use this scenario to answer the next 2 questions:
A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer
determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response
system by using his mobile device. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional
rescuers immediately arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt.
4. Two rescuers begin high-quality CPR while the third rescuer leaves to get the AED. What action supports 2-rescuer CPR?
Scenario:
A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer
determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response
system by using his mobile device. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional
rescuers immediately arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt.
5. You witness someone suddenly collapse. The person is unresponsive, you hear gasping sounds, and there is no pulse. You phone 9-1-1. What should you do next?
6. Why is defibrillation important?
7. When the AED arrives, what is the first step for using it?
Use this scenario to answer the next 2 questions:
A 53-year-old woman collapses while gardening. She is unresponsive, is not breathing, and does not have a
pulse. A neighbor, who is an emergency medical technician, rushes to her with an AED.
8. After the AED pads are attached to the person, the AED detects ventricular fibrillation. What is the next step when using an AED?
Use this scenario to answer the next 2 questions:
A 53-year-old woman collapses while gardening. She is unresponsive, is not breathing, and does not have a
pulse. A neighbor, who is an emergency medical technician, rushes to her with an AED
9. "The team functions smoothly when all team members know their positions, functions, and tasks during a resuscitation attempt.” Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed.
10. “Members of the team know their boundaries and ask for help before the resuscitation attempt worsens.” Match this statement with the most appropriate element of team dynamics listed.
11. A victim with a foreign-body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive. What is your first course of action?
12. While performing high-quality CPR on an adult, what action should you ensure is being accomplished?
13. Which action is most likely to positively impact his survival?
Use this scenario to answer the next 2 questions:
A middle-aged man collapses. You and a second rescuer go to the victim and find that he is unresponsive,
is not breathing, and does not have a pulse.
14. You and another rescuer begin CPR. After a few cycles, you notice the chest compression rate is slowing. What should you say to offer constructive feedback?
15. Early defibrillation is a link in the adult Chain of Survival. Why is this important to survival?
16. What special circumstance should a rescuer consider when using an AED?
17. Which adult victim requires high-quality CPR?
18. Which characteristics of chest compressions in high-quality CPR are given to a child?
19. Why is allowing complete chest recoil important when performing high-quality CPR?
20. When you are performing CPR on an unresponsive person whom you know is choking, what modification should you incorporate?
21. You have determined that the infant is responsive and choking with a severe airway obstruction. How do you relieve the airway obstruction?
Use this scenario to answer the next 2 questions:
An 8-month-old infant is eating and suddenly begins to cough. The infant is unable to make any noise
shortly after. You pick up the infant and shout for help.
22. The infant becomes unresponsive. Which action do you perform to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant? A. Perform
Use this scenario to answer the next 2 questions:
An 8-month-old infant is eating and suddenly begins to cough. The infant is unable to make any noise
shortly after. You pick up the infant and shout for help.
23. When should rescuers switch positions during CPR?
Use this scenario to answer the next 2 questions:
A 67-year-old man is found unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse. You and a second rescuer
begin performing high-quality CPR.
24. You notice the person giving chest compressions is not allowing for complete chest recoil. What is your next course of action?
25. How can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective breaths when using a bag-mask device?
