#1
What does CPR stand for?
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
ExplanationTechnique to revive a person by chest compressions and rescue breaths.
#2
Which of the following is NOT a step in the CPR process?
Administering medication
ExplanationNot a part of immediate CPR protocol.
#3
What should you do first if you encounter an unresponsive victim?
Shouting for help
ExplanationCritical for gaining assistance and initiating response.
#4
What should you do if you suspect a person is having a heart attack?
Call emergency medical services (EMS) immediately
ExplanationPrompt action can reduce damage and save lives.
#5
What should you do if a victim is breathing but unconscious?
Monitor the victim until EMS arrives
ExplanationEnsure airway remains clear and assess for changes.
#6
What is the recommended depth for chest compressions in adult CPR?
At least 2 inches (5 centimeters)
ExplanationDepth necessary to effectively pump the heart.
#7
Which of the following is a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest?
Choking
ExplanationObstructs airways leading to heart malfunction.
#8
What is the correct hand placement for chest compressions in CPR on an adult?
Lower half of the sternum
ExplanationOptimal position for effective compressions.
#9
What is the recommended compression rate for CPR in adults?
100 compressions per minute
ExplanationMaintains adequate blood flow without exhaustion.
#10
During CPR, how should you position the victim's airway to give rescue breaths?
Tilted back with the head hyperextended
ExplanationOptimizes air passage into the lungs.
#11
Which of the following is a correct step to take if an automated external defibrillator (AED) is available during CPR?
Use the AED after performing 5 cycles of CPR (about 2 minutes)
ExplanationEnhances chances of successful defibrillation.
#12
What is the ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths in CPR for adults?
30 compressions to 2 breaths
ExplanationBalanced approach for circulation and oxygenation.
#13
Which of the following is NOT a component of the CPR chain of survival?
Early detection of respiratory distress
ExplanationNot directly related to sustaining life in an emergency.
#14
What is the purpose of defibrillation in CPR?
To restart the heart
ExplanationCorrects abnormal heart rhythms.
#15
Which of the following is NOT a sign of effective chest compressions during CPR?
Sweating of the victim
ExplanationIrrelevant to assessing circulation efficacy.
#16
Which of the following is NOT a potential complication of CPR?
Brain hemorrhage
ExplanationNot a typical consequence of CPR procedures.
