If the patient has a pulse but is not breathing, rescue breathing should be provided with continuous monitoring.

Rescue breathing is the correct response if the patient has a pulse but no breathing.

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

High-quality chest compressions are the top priority in cardiac arrest, with ventilation as a secondary focus.

A bag-mask device (BVM) is preferred for healthcare providers as it delivers more effective ventilations.

Rescue breathing should be initiated for a patient with a pulse but no normal breathing.

High-quality CPR for children requires compressing at least 1/3 of the chest depth (about 2 inches or 5 cm).

For a responsive choking adult, abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) should be used.

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

Over-ventilation can increase intrathoracic pressure, reducing venous return and cardiac output.

Rescue breaths should be given before starting chest compressions in drowning victims.

Unless a valid DNR order is confirmed, resuscitation efforts should begin.

Agonal gasps are not normal breathing and should not delay CPR.

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

Agonal breathing is a sign of cardiac arrest and CPR should be initiated.

AED pads should be placed at least 1 inch away from a pacemaker to avoid interference.

If the AED does not advise a shock, rescuers should immediately resume CPR.

An AED is used on patients who are unresponsive, pulseless, and not breathing.

The two-thumb encircling technique is preferred for two-rescuer infant CPR, while single rescuers typically use two fingers.

Single-rescuer infant CPR follows the 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio, just like adults.

The best way to ensure effective ventilation is by observing visible chest rise with each breath.

For an unresponsive, pulseless patient, immediate chest compressions are the priority.

For a single rescuer, the correct ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

Before starting CPR, check for a pulse for no more than 10 seconds to determine if compressions are needed.

For children, compress the chest at least 1/3 of its diameter (about 2 inches or 5 cm).

Infant chest compressions should be at least 1/3 of the chest depth, approximately 1.5 inches (4 cm).

Switching roles every 2 minutes prevents rescuer fatigue and minimizes interruptions.

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

The two-thumb encircling hands technique is the preferred method for two-rescuer infant CPR, as it provides better depth and control.

Rescue breathing is the correct response if the patient has a pulse but no breathing.

Clear role assignment and minimizing interruptions optimize CPR quality in a team setting.

Pulse checks should be limited to 10 seconds to avoid delaying CPR.

The best method is to tap the patient and shout to assess for responsiveness.

Ventilations should be given every 6 seconds when an advanced airway is in place.

The correct compression depth for adult CPR is at least 2 inches (5 cm).

In BLS, medication administration is not a designated role—this falls under ACLS-level care.

Ventilations should be given every 6 seconds when an advanced airway is in place.

Each breath should be given over 1 second with just enough volume to see the chest rise.

Adult chest compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep.

Adult chest compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep.

Rescuers should switch every 2 minutes (or 5 cycles of compressions) to maintain high-quality CPR.

The E-C clamp technique ensures a tight seal while lifting the jaw for an open airway.

Rescue breaths should be given before starting chest compressions in drowning victims.

Adult chest compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep.

For suspected spinal injuries, the jaw thrust maneuver is used instead of head tilt-chin lift to maintain spinal alignment.

For a single rescuer, the correct ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

Agonal breathing is a sign of cardiac arrest and CPR should be initiated.

Once an advanced airway is in place, continuous compressions are given with 1 breath every 6 seconds.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

Chest compressions keep oxygenated blood circulating to the brain and heart until normal function is restored.

Rescue breathing is recommended for victims with a pulse but inadequate breathing.

The first step after turning on an AED is attaching the electrode pads.

Rescue breaths should be given before starting chest compressions in drowning victims.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.
