CPR review - AHA BLS/CPR Questions And Answers
1. Sudden Cardiac Arrest: is a leading cause of death in the United States every year?
2. BLS/CPR: Basic Life Support/ Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
3. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): is a combination of chest compres- sions and
breathing given to victims that are considered to be in cardiac arrest.
4. Team Dynamics: What is the definition of this type of team: functions smoothly when all team
members know their positions functions and tasks during a resus- citation attempt.
5. The most appropriate element of team dynamics is:: clear roles and respon- sibilites
6. every member on a team has these roles and responsibilities: 1. know your legal limitation,
personal limitations and personal boundaries
2. teams function smoothly when all team members know their positions, functions and tasks
3. constructive intervention ( correct actions that are incorrect or inappropriate professionally)
7. Assign tasks to other rescuers and rotate compressors every 2 minutes or more
frequently if needed to avoid fatigue: When you are in a emergency response. What action
should you take when more rescuers arrive?
8. Homes: In which location do most out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur?
9. start high-quality CPR, beginning with Chest compressions: Several res- cuers respond, and
you ask them to activate the emergency response system and retrieve the AED. As you check for a
pulse and breathing, you notice that the man is gasping for air and making snorting sounds. You do not
feel a pulse. What is your best next action?
10.suggest to resume chest compressions without delay.: Example of con- structive
intervention: After performing high-quality CPR for 5 minutes, the team leader frequently interrupts
chest compressions to check for a pulse even though the victim has no organized rhythm when the
AED analyzes the rhythm. Which action demonstrates constructive intervention?
11.Regardless if the CPR or 1st aid is needed in a out of the hospital environment or in
the hospital everyone must work as a team. The team leader's role is:: to clearly delegate
tasks according to each team members skill level and limitations
12.team leader most appropriate element of the team dynamics: to have clear roles and
responsiblities of all the members of the team
13.team member legal limitations vs. personal boundaries: legal limitations: By law the
restrictions on a person's held licence ( example: CNA is not allowed to administer medication),
personal boundaries: The skill set the individual has mastered ( example: Legally could start an IV, but
never learned the skill)
14.Knowing your limitations as a team member means?: Each team member should ask for
assistance and advice early, not when the situation starts to get worse
15.example: acknowledge your limitations: The team leader asks you to perform bag-
mask ventilation during a resuscitation attempt, but you have not perfected that skill.
What do you do?: tell the team leader that you are not comfortable performing that task
16.Repeat back to the Team Leader the task assigned to you.: What is the appropriate
action to demonstrate closed-loop communication when the Team Leader assigns you a task?

long?
18.CPR helps to provide critical ( what??)-----to the heart and brain, until the person
regains consciousness or Emergency Medical Services (EMS) or professional help arrives on
the scene.: critical blood flow, oxygen and delivery of energy nutrients
19.What is AED (Automated Electronic Defibrillator): This is a lightweight, battery-
operated, portable device that checks the heart's rhythm and sends a shock(defibrillation
potential) to the heart to restore a normal rhythm.
20.Power on the AED: What is the most appropriate first step to take as soon as the AED arrives at
the victim's side?
21.defibrillation (cardioversion): what is the third link in the adult out-of-hospital chain of
survival?
22.: What is the second link in the adult out of hospital Chain of survival
23.Defibrillation definition: An electrical impulse that eliminates abnormal, rapid heartbeats?
24.AED is used in combination with CPR: With these two combined the chances of
survival can double ( or triple)
25.CPR plus defibrillation within ---- time of collapse, may reduce chances of sudden
cardiac arrest and permanent damage.: within three to five (3-5) minutes
26. ++ AHA BLS Book recommends: Use adult AED pads if the AED does not have child
pads: What should you do when using an AED on an infant or a child younger than 8 yrs old or
younger
27.Use an AED equipped with a pediatric dose attenuator: If a manual defib- rillator is not
available for an infant victim, which action should you take?
28.Need to place 1 pad on the chest and 1 on the back, according to the diagrams on the
pads: What is important to remember about AED pad placement on infants?
29.What is used to avoid direct contact with blood or other bodily fluid.: dis- posable gloves,
PPE (personal protective equipment)
30.Wear PPE: When you are providing first aid you should
31.Use(what???) --- while giving rescue breaths.: preventive breathing barriers
32.Tell (whom??)---- if you have come in direct contact with the victim's bodily fluids.:
EMS personnel at the scene
33.One of the primary advantages of the new 2010 ECC guidelines, is to?: - reduce the
bystanders' fear and panic when responding to an injured person and when performing CPR.
34.-(what -- states??) follow Good Samaritan laws: All 50
35.Good Samaritan Law: The act provides legal protection to people who willingly provide
emergency care to ill/injured persons, without accepting anything in return?: The act
provides legal protection to people who willingly pro- vide emergency care to ill/injured persons,
without accepting anything in return?
36.If any kind of compensation is accepted for your emergency care, the Good
Samaritan law will?: no longer protect you
