Basic Life Support and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Quiz

A depth of 2 inches (5 centimeters) is recommended for effective chest compressions in adult CPR.

The primary goal of CPR is to maintain brain perfusion by restoring circulation.

Checking for responsiveness in CPR is done to assess the patient's level of consciousness.

The recommended compression rate for adult CPR is 100-120 compressions per minute.

During CPR in an adult, the correct hand placement for chest compressions is the lower half of the sternum.

The purpose of rescue breaths in CPR is to circulate oxygenated blood.

The correct compression-to-ventilation ratio for adult CPR is 30 compressions to 2 ventilations.

In basic life support, 'ABCDE' stands for Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, and Exposure.

A visible rise of the chest with each compression is a sign of effective chest compressions during CPR.

For pediatric CPR in infants, a compression depth of 1.5 inches (4 centimeters) is recommended.

To open the airway during CPR, the head and neck should be positioned with a tilted back chin lift.

The ratio of compressions to ventilations in pediatric CPR is 15 compressions to 2 ventilations.

The first step in the chain of survival for cardiac arrest is early access to emergency services.

Choking is a common cause of cardiac arrest in adults.

CPR should be performed on an unconscious person exhibiting agonal breathing.

During infant CPR, chest compressions should be performed by placing fingers over the lower third of the breastbone.

The primary purpose of an AED in CPR is to analyze heart rhythm and deliver shocks if necessary.
