Back blows and chest thrusts are recommended for clearing airway obstruction in infants.

The center of the chest is the correct hand placement for chest compressions on an adult.

The recommended depth for chest compressions during adult CPR is at least 2 inches (5 cm).

Giving abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver, is not recommended during infant CPR.

The recommended ratio of compressions to ventilations in CPR for infants is 30 compressions to 2 ventilations.

If the chest does not rise after delivering a rescue breath to an adult, check for an obstructed airway.

The recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio for a single rescuer in pediatric basic life support is 30 compressions to 2 ventilations.

Abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver, are the preferred method for airway clearance in a responsive choking adult.

The preferred method to open the airway in an unconscious person is the jaw thrust maneuver.

A potential complication of performing chest compressions during CPR is the fracture of the sternum.

If a conscious choking adult becomes unresponsive, start CPR first.

When providing rescue breaths to an adult, ensure a proper seal over the victim's mouth by using a barrier device if available.

In basic life support, the recommended ratio of compressions to breaths for 2-rescuer CPR in infants is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
