BLS Worksheet RATED A+
Chest compressions are more often too shallow than too deep. -✔✔True
Chest compressions depth greater than 2.4 inches in adults may cause injuries. -✔✔True
Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when blood flow to the part of the heart muscle is blocked. -✔✔False
A heart attack occurs when the heart develops an abnormal rhythm and can't pump blood. -✔✔False
To check for breathing, scan the victim's chest for rise and fall for no more than 10 seconds. -✔✔True
To perform a pulse check in an adult, palpate a carotid pulse. -✔✔True
Agonal gasps are NOT normal breathing. Agonal gasps may be present in the first minutes after sudden
cardiac arrest. -✔✔True
Chest compressions are important because of the blood flow to the heart and brain. -✔✔True
I doesn't matter if you do CPR on a firm surface because the compression of the chest and heart will
create blood flow no matter where you are.. -✔✔False
Chest recoil allows blood to flow into the heart. -✔✔True
Incomplete chest recoil reduces the filling of the heart between compressions and reduces the blood
flow created by chest compressions. -✔✔True
, When opening the airway you use a head tilt-chin lift procedure if you do NOT suspect a neck injury. -✔
✔True
If you suspect a neck injury, you perform a jaw thrust maneuver to reduce neck and spine movement
when opening the airway. -✔✔True
When giving breaths to a victim you use a barrier device such as a pocket mask. -✔✔True
Effective teams communicate continuously. The compressor counts out loud so the rescuer providing
breaths can anticipate when breaths will be given. -✔✔True
AED stands for Automatic Extra Depositor. -✔✔False
Public-access defibrillation (PAD) means having trained rescuers and AEDs available in public places
where large numbers of people gather. -✔✔True
Once the AED arrives, place it near the victim's feet. -✔✔False
An AED analyzes the heart rhythm to identify the presence of a rhythm that responds to shock therapy. -
✔✔True
If all you have are child AED pads, it is ok to use them on an adult. -✔✔False
It's ok to apply AED pads to a victim with a hairy chest. -✔✔False
Do not use an AED in water. -✔✔True
