Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and First Aid for Professional Rescuers Quiz

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation involves chest compressions and rescue breaths to revive a person.

The compression rate for adult CPR should be approximately 100 compressions per minute.

During adult CPR, compressions should be performed with the heel of one hand over the lower half of the sternum.

The carotid artery, located in the neck, is typically checked for a pulse during adult CPR.

Reassessment of the person's condition should occur approximately every 2 minutes during CPR to ensure effectiveness.

Adult CPR typically involves 30 chest compressions followed by 1 rescue breath.

Stopping CPR is advised when the person shows signs of life, emergency medical services take over, or rescuer is too exhausted to continue.

The adult chain of survival includes early recognition, early CPR, early defibrillation, and early advanced care.

Effective adult CPR compressions should depress the chest by at least 2 inches.

Effective CPR should result in improved skin color and signs of circulation.

An AED is a portable device that delivers an electric shock to restart the heart.
