A 6-year-old man is found to be unresponsive, pulseless, and apneic. You should: |
-begin CPR until an AED is available. Page 526, One-Rescuer Adult CPR |
Basic life support (BLS) is defined as: |
… |
Between each chest compression, you should: |
-allow full chest recoil. Page 516, Components of CPR |
Complications associated with chest compressions include all of the following, EXCEPT: |
-gastric distention. Page 520, Check for Breathing and a Pulse |
CPR is in progress on a pregnant woman. Shortly after manually displacing her uterus to the left, return of spontaneous circulation occurs. Which of the following would MOST likely explain this? |
-Pressure was relieved from her aorta and vena cava, which improved chest compression effectiveness. |
CPR retraining is the MOST effective when it: |
-involves hands-on practice. Page 550, Education and Training for the EMT |
CPR should be initiated when: |
-a valid living will is unavailable. Page 540, When Not to Start CPR |
CPR will NOT be effective if the patient is: |
-prone. Page 519, Positioning the Patient |
Gastric distention will MOST likely occur: |
-if you ventilate a patient too quickly. Page 525, Opening the Airway and Providing Artificial Ventilation |
If an object is visible in the unconscious patient’s airway, you should: |
-remove it. Page 545, Foreign Body Airway Obstruction in Adults |
In most cases, cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children is caused by: |
-respiratory arrest. Page 533, Infant and Child CPR |
Several attempts to adequately open a trauma patient’s airway with the jaw-thrust maneuver have been unsuccessful. You should: |
-carefully perform the head tilt-chin maneuver. Page 525, Opening the Airway and Providing Artificial Ventilation |
Signs of a sudden severe upper airway obstruction include all of the following, EXCEPT: |
-forceful coughing. Page 542, Foreign Body Airway Obstruction in Adults |
The impedence threshold device (ITD) may improve circulation during active compression-decompression CPR by: |
-limiting the amount of air that enters the lungs during the recoil phase between chest compressions, which results in intrathoracic pressure and improved cardiac filling. Page 531, Devices and Techniques to Assist Circulation |
What is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio for adult CPR? |
-30:2. Page 525, Opening the Airway and Providing Artificial Ventilation |
When performing CPR on a child, you should compress the chest: |
-with one or two hands. Page 533, Infant and Child CPR |
While rescuer one is finishing his or her fifth cycle of 30 compressions, rescuer two should: |
-move to the opposite side of the patient’s chest. Page 529, Two-Rescuer Adult CPR |
Without practice, your CPR skills will ______. |
-deteriorate over time. Page 515, Elements of BLS |
Your conscious patient has a mild partial airway obstruction. You should: |
-encourage the patient to cough. Page 542, Foreign Body Airway Obstruction in Adults |
Your partner is performing one-rescuer COR on a middle-aged woman in cardiac arrest. When you apply the AED pads, you note that she has a medication patch over the same area one of the AED pads will be placed. You should: |
-remove the medication patch, wipe away ant medication residue, and apply the AED pads. Page 518, Automated External Defibrillation |
