Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

Gasping (agonal breathing) is not normal breathing and should not delay CPR.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For adults with an advanced airway, ventilation should be given at a rate of 1 breath every 6 seconds.

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

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

High-quality CPR requires minimizing interruptions to maintain circulation.

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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

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

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

AED pads should be placed at least 1 inch away from a pacemaker to avoid interference.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Visible chest rise confirms that breaths are being delivered effectively.

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

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