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

For suspected spinal injury, the jaw thrust maneuver should be used instead of head tilt-chin lift.

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

Switching roles every 2 minutes ensures high-quality compressions without fatigue.

For two-rescuer pediatric CPR, the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio is 15:2.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

Over-ventilation can lead to increased intrathoracic pressure, reducing venous return and cardiac output.

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

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

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

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.

High-quality chest compressions help circulate oxygenated blood to the brain and heart.

If a patient has a pulse but is not breathing adequately, healthcare providers should provide rescue breathing without chest compressions.

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

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

For infants, responsiveness is assessed by tapping the bottom of the foot and shouting.

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

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

For adult CPR, compressions should be performed with two hands, one on top of the other, placed on the lower half of the sternum.

An AED analyzes the heart rhythm and delivers a shock if a shockable rhythm is present.

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

Switching roles every 2 minutes minimizes interruptions and maintains high-quality CPR.

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

If a choking victim becomes unresponsive and pulseless, CPR should begin immediately, starting with compressions.

If there is any doubt about the presence of a pulse, start chest compressions immediately.

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

For a choking infant, back slaps and chest thrusts should be used instead of abdominal thrusts.

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

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

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

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

Pulse checks should be performed approximately every 2 minutes when providing rescue breathing.

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

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

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

Rescuers should switch every 2 minutes to maintain high-quality CPR and prevent fatigue.

When a shockable rhythm is detected, defibrillation should be performed as soon as possible.

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

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

Reassessment should occur every 5 cycles of CPR (about 2 minutes) unless an AED prompts earlier evaluation.

Most AEDs are programmed to reanalyze the heart rhythm every 2 minutes.

Unlike adults, the most common cause of cardiac arrest in infants and children is respiratory failure leading to hypoxia.

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

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

Equal chest rise and fall confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.
