#1
What is the first step in Basic Life Support (BLS)?
Check for responsiveness
ExplanationAssess if the victim is conscious and breathing.
#2
What does the acronym 'CPR' stand for?
Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation
ExplanationMethod of sustaining life through chest compressions and ventilation.
#3
Which of the following is a common cause of cardiac arrest in adults?
Choking
ExplanationObstructs airway and prevents oxygenation.
#4
Which of the following is NOT a step in the BLS (Basic Life Support) algorithm?
Perform abdominal thrusts
ExplanationNot part of standard CPR protocol.
#5
What is the recommended compression rate for CPR in adults?
100 compressions per minute
ExplanationMaintains blood flow and oxygenation.
#6
What is the correct hand placement for chest compressions during CPR on an adult?
Center of the chest, between the nipples
ExplanationOptimal location for effective compressions.
#7
What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio for CPR in adults?
30:2
ExplanationBalances oxygenation and circulation.
#8
Which of the following is NOT a sign of effective CPR?
Visible chest compressions
ExplanationMay indicate insufficient depth or technique.
#9
What is the recommended depth of chest compressions for adult CPR?
2 inches (5 centimeters)
ExplanationOptimal depth for effective circulation.
#10
What is the correct hand placement for chest compressions during CPR on an infant?
Just below the nipple line
ExplanationEnsures proper compression on the infant's chest.
#11
Which action should be performed first when an unconscious victim is found?
Check for breathing
ExplanationEnsures airway patency.
#12
What should you do if an automated external defibrillator (AED) advises 'no shock'?
Continue CPR
ExplanationSustains circulation until further assessment.
#13
Which action should be taken first when beginning CPR?
Check for a pulse
ExplanationDetermines if circulation is present.
#14
What is the correct compression depth for adult CPR?
2 inches (5 centimeters)
ExplanationOptimal depth for effective compressions in adults.
#15
What is the purpose of checking for a pulse during CPR?
To determine if the heart is pumping
ExplanationAssesses cardiac function.
#16
What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio for CPR in infants?
30:2
ExplanationOptimal ratio for oxygenation and circulation in infants.
