For children with a pulse but no normal breathing, provide rescue breaths at a rate of 12-20 per minute.

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After a shock is delivered, chest compressions should resume immediately to maintain circulation.

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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

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

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

Naloxone should only be administered if opioid overdose is suspected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

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

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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