CORRECT
Q: What are the five fundamental stages in the Adult Chain of Survival?
A: 1. Immediate identification of the emergency and contacting emergency
services. 2. Starting CPR right away to maintain blood flow. 3. Using an AED

care. 5. Implementation of recovery protocols after the heart restarts. ✔✔
Q: In a clinical or emergency setting, what does the acronym ROSC represent?
A: It stands for Return of Spontaneous Circulation, which occurs when a patient's
heart begins to pump blood on its own again after an arrest. ✔✔
Q: How would you define the medical condition known as cardiac arrest?
A: It is a life-threatening situation where the heart's electrical system malfunctions,
causing it to stop pumping entirely or to beat so poorly that it can no longer deliver
oxygenated blood to the brain and vital organs. ✔✔
