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

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

Chest compressions maintain circulation and deliver oxygenated blood to the brain and heart.

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

AED pads should be placed at least 1 inch away from a pacemaker to ensure proper function.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pediatric AED pads should be used for children under 8 years old, if available.

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

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

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

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

Switching roles every 2 minutes prevents rescuer fatigue and ensures continuous, high-quality CPR.

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

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

In a hospital setting, bag-mask ventilation is the preferred method for delivering rescue breaths.

Early defibrillation is the most critical step in increasing survival rates for patients in cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm.

Chest compressions should continue while the AED is charging to maintain circulation.

For adults with a pulse but not breathing, provide 1 breath every 5-6 seconds.

Once an advanced airway is in place, continuous compressions should be given at 100-120 per minute without pausing for breaths.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

For two-rescuer infant CPR, the correct ratio is 15:2, not 30:2.

If a choking victim can cough or speak, encourage them to keep coughing rather than immediately performing abdominal thrusts.

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

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

The first step is to turn on the AED before attaching pads and following voice prompts.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

Visible chest rise is the best indicator that rescue breaths are effectively ventilating the lungs.

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

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

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