CPR BLS Exam 2021 AHA
1. Why is defibrillation important?: It can restore a regular cardiac
rhythm (An AED can identify an abnormal heart rhythm that needs a
shock. The AED can then deliver a shock that can convert a rhythm
back to normal.)
2. While performing high-quality CPR on an adult patient, what action
should you ensure is being accomplished?: Compressing to a depth of at
least 2 inches (When performing chest compressions on an adult (or
adolescent), a compression depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm) should be
used.)
3.A 63-year-old man collapses while mowing the lawn. He is unresponsive,
is not breathing, and does not have a pulse. A neighbor, who is an EMT,
rushes to her with an AED. When the AED arrives, what is the first step for
using it?: Turn on the AED (The first step for using an AED (when it
becomes available) is to power on the AED if needed. Some devices
will power on automatically when you open the lid or case. Because
AEDs vary according to the model and manufacturer, it is important to
become familiar with the AED used in your particular setting.)
4. After the AED pads are attached to the victim's bare chest, the AED
prompts you to shock the victim. What is the next step when using an
AED?: Follow the AED prompts and press the shock button once
everyone is clear. (After the AED pads are attached to the victim's
bare chest, you should follow the AED prompts. The AED will analyze
the victim's heart rhythm and prompt you to deliver a shock if
needed.)

, 5. What should you do if you need to use an AED on someone who has
been submerged in a pool?: Pull the victim out of the water, and wipe
the chest, and use the AED (Special situations may require the rescuer
to take additional actions when placing AED pads for a victim who is
immersed in water. In this case, the victim should be pulled out of the
water. If the chest is covered with some water, it should be quickly
wiped before attaching the AED pads.)
6. A victim with who is choking becomes unresponsive. What is your first
course of action?: Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions
(Choking vic- tims with severe airway obstruction may worsen and
become unresponsive. If this occurs, then high-quality CPR must be
started immediately, beginning with chest compressions.)
7. When using a bag-mask device, how can rescuers ensure that they are
providing effective breaths?: Observing the chest rise with breaths
(Squeeze the bag to give breaths (1 second each) while watching for
chest rise. Deliver each breath over 1 second, with or without
supplementary oxygen.)
