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

Breaths should be delivered over 1 second each to produce visible chest rise.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For infants, the correct pulse check location is the brachial artery (inside the upper arm).

CPR should continue until the patient shows signs of life, an AED prompts a shock or no shock, or another trained provider takes over.

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

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

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

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

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

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

For single-rescuer infant CPR, use two fingers just below the nipple line to perform compressions.

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

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

Closed-loop communication ensures that orders are acknowledged and carried out correctly.

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

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

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

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

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

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

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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