YMCA CPR FINAL REVIEW SCRIPT 2026
TESTED ANSWERS GRADED A+
● Abuse of opioid is a serious health problem
Opioids can depress and stop breathing resulting in secondary cardiac
arrest
Naloxone is medication that can quickly reverse opioid effects and is
being made more available to those likely to be in contact with someone
who may have an opioid overdose. Answer: Opioid Overdose
● Secondary Cardiac Arrest. Answer: Occurs at the end of a loss of an
airway or breathing
Without oxygen, the heart gets progressively weaker until it stops
CPR with an emphasis on rescues breathes may be the only chance to
help
● children and Infants. Answer: Much more likely to experience a
secondary cardiac arrest instead of a sudden one
Describing ages in relation to CPR:
-An infant is younger than 1 year old
-A child is 1 year of age until onset of puberty
-An adult from onset of puberty and older
, ● The most effective way to end ventricular fibrillation is_______.
Answer: defibrillation- a controlled electrical shock is sent through the
heart to stop ventricular fibrillation, allowing heart's normal electrical
activity to return and restore the normal pumping action of the heart.
● electrical system of the heart malfunctions, resulting in ventricular
fibrillation. Answer: Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)
● cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Answer: restores limited blood
flow and oxygen to the brain through a combination of chest
compressions and rescue breaths to delay cell death
● End ventricular fibrillation and restores normal heart beat. Answer:
Early defibrillation
● Most effective approach to manage a sudden cardiac arrest. Answer:
Chain of survival
● Steps to Hamnalyck Remover. Answer: 1st stand behind him
2nd reach around and locate his navel with your finger
3rd Make a fist and place the thumb side against the abdomen, just
