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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

If a patient is unresponsive with a suspected airway obstruction, chest compressions should be initiated immediately to help clear the airway.

Defibrillation should be performed as soon as a shockable rhythm is detected by the AED.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

Effective compressions allow full chest recoil, ensuring proper circulation.

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Equal chest rise confirms proper ventilation and airway placement.

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

High-quality CPR for adults requires compressions at least 2 inches deep at a rate of 100-120 per minute.

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If a choking victim becomes unresponsive, emergency services should be activated, and CPR should begin immediately.

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

The carotid artery is the preferred site for pulse assessment in unresponsive adults.

To minimize interruptions in care, breathing and pulse checks should be performed simultaneously, taking no more than 10 seconds.

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

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

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

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

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