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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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

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

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

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

Each breath should be given over 1 second with just enough volume to see the chest rise.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

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

A firm surface is needed to ensure effective compressions.

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

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

Excessive ventilation can cause complications like gastric inflation.

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

Encourage the victim to keep coughing instead of immediately intervening.

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