⩥ when is it important to move an adult victim who needs CPR?
Answer: when an adult/ victim is in a dangerous environment
⩥ High quality CPR includes starting chest compressions within how
many seconds after recognition of cardiac arrest in victims of all ages?
Answer: 10 seconds
⩥ interruptions of chest compressions should be limited to how many
seconds?
Answer: 10 seconds
⩥ how can you tell when a rescue breath for an infant victim is
effective?
Answer: there is visible rise of the chest
⩥ what is the best method of opening the airway of an unresponsive
victim when you do not suspect cervical spine injury?

,⩥ what technique is not recommended for single rescuer to provide
breaths during CPR?
Answer: bag mask device
⩥ what is likely to cause air to enter the victims stomach( gastric
inflation) during bag mask ventilation?
Answer: breaths are given to quickly or with to much force
⩥ What are the correct compression and ventilation rates for 2 rescuers
CPR in the prescience of an advanced airway in adult victim?
Answer: compress at a rate of at least 100 per min with 2 breaths every 5
to 10 secs

during 2 rescuer CPR for an infant?
Answer: the 2 thumb - encircling hands technique
⩥ where is the brachial pulse located?
