1. True or False: The jaw-thrust maneuver should be used to open the airway of an individual with a suspected head or neck injury. Your Answer: True CORRECT 2. True or False: It is recommended to minimize interruptions in CPR for pulse checks and shocks. Your Answer: True CORRECT 3. True or False: If you did not witness the arrest of a child or an infant, you should provide two minutes of CPR before leaving them to activate the emergency response system and get the AED. Your Answer: True CORRECT 4. True or False: If you cannot see the infant’s chest rise and fall, reposition the airway and attempt the breath again. Your Answer: True CORRECT 5. True or False: For infants, an AED is preferred to a manual defibrillator for defibrillation. Your Answer: False CORRECT 6. True or False: If the individual is making high pitched wheezing noises and gasping for air you should encourage them to cough. Your Answer: True CORRECT 7. True or False: CPR is performed while a second rescuer gets an AED. Your Answer: True CORRECT 8. True or False: An individual should be “cleared” prior to a shock only when convenient. Your Answer: False CORRECT 9. True or False: If the AED advises no shock, you should still defibrillate because defibrillation often restarts the heart with no pulse. Your Answer: False CORRECT

10. What are the vital characteristics of first-rate CPR? o

 Starting chest compressions within 10 seconds of recognition of cardiac arrest

o

 Pushing hard and fast

o

 Minimizing interruptions

o  All of the above CORRECT 11. Which step is NOT a part of the five steps in the Adult Chain of Survival? o

 Advanced airway placement

o

 Rapid defibrillation

o

 Integrated post-cardiac arrest care

o  Early CPR CORRECT 12. When performing two-rescuer CPR, how often should you switch roles? o

 After every 10 cycles of CPR

o

 After every 15 cycles of CPR

o

 After every five cycles of CPR

o  After every cycle of CPR CORRECT 13. When operating an AED, what are the correct steps to follow? o

 Power on the AED, attach electrode pads, shock the individual, and analyze the rhythm

o

 Attach electrode pads, check pulse, shock the individual, and analyze rhythm

o

 None of the above

 Power on the AED, attach electrode pads, clear the individual, analyze the rhythm, and deliver shock CORRECT o

14. In both children and infants, the compression to ventilation ratio for two-rescuer CPR is: o

 30:02:00

o

 30:01:00

o

 15:02

o  15:01 CORRECT

15. When looking for a pulse on a child from one year to puberty, where should you check? o

 Temporal artery

o

 Popliteal artery

o

 Carotid or femoral artery

o  Brachial artery CORRECT 16. Why are breaths so important for children and infants in cardiac arrest? o

 Because they often have respiratory failure that reduces the oxygen content in the blood before the onset of arrest.

o

 Because they have smaller lungs.

o

 Because breaths help to dislodge foreign bodies.

o  None of the above INCORRECT - RIGHT ANSWER: BECAUSE THEY OFTEN HAVE RESPIRATORY FAILURE THAT REDUCES THE OXYGEN CONTENT IN THE BLOOD BEFORE THE ONSET OF ARREST. 17. How should you attempt to relieve choking in a responsive individual over the age of one year? o

 Back slaps

o

 Finger sweep

o

 None of the above

o  Abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) CORRECT 18. What is the next step when an adult choking individual becomes unresponsive? o

 Check for pulse.

o

 Defibrillate.

o

 Activate the emergency response system.

o  Give rescue breaths. INCORRECT - RIGHT ANSWER: ACTIVATE THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM. 19. At what age is it necessary to use the child AED pads? o

 10 years of age or younger

o

 8 years of age or older

o

 13 years of age or younger

o

 8 years of age or younger

INCORRECT - RIGHT ANSWER: 8 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER 20. What should you do if the individual chest is wet when using an AED? o

 Rub isopropyl alcohol on the individual skin before proceeding with AED use.

o

 Proceed with AED use as usual.

o

 Quickly wipe it dry before proceeding with AED use.

o  Do not use an AED device. CORRECT 21. You are alone when you encounter an individual in what appears to be cardiac or respiratory arrest. What are the first three steps you should take to stabilize the individual? Check for danger, check for response, and ____________. o

o

 Head-tilt-chin-lift maneuver

o  Head-tilt maneuver only CORRECT 23. The BLS Survey changed in the 2010 AHA update. Which of the following describes this change? o

 A. Start with chest compressions instead of giving two rescue breaths.

o

 B. The initial steps are no longer ABC; instead it is CAB: start with chest compressions.

o

 C. Chest compressions should be continued while preparing the AED to minimize interruptions.

o  D. Both A and C CORRECT

24. Thirty ____________ and two ____________ equal one cycle of CPR. o

 breaths, chest compressions

o

 chest compressions, breaths

o

 chest compressions, jaw thrusts

o  chest compressions, pulse checks CORRECT 25. Which of the following would be your next call to action if the rhythm is unshockable, and there is no pulse? o

o

 None of the above

o  Immediately resume CPR. CORRECT
