BLS
What is the correct order of steps in the Out of hospital chain of survival for adults? -✔✔1. Activation
of Emergency Response
2. High-quality CPR
3. Defibrillation
4. Advanced Resuscitation
5. Post-Cardiac Arrest Care
6. Recovery
Assessing breathing & pulse before beginning CPR should take no more than ____ seconds. -✔✔10
What are the components of a pulse check in an unresponsive victim? -✔✔-use 2-3 fingers to locate
the pulse
-Assess for a pulse for at least 5, but no more than 10 seconds
-feel the pulse in the groove to the side of the trachea
What does a chest compression feedback device monitor? -✔✔Chest recoil, compression rate and
compression depth
When using a pocket mask, where should the rescuer be positioned? -✔✔At the side of the victim
After positioning yourself directly above the victim's head, what is the correct order of steps for using a
bag mask device? -✔✔1. Place the mask on the victim's face, using the bridge of the nose as a guide for
the correct position
2. Use the E-C clamp technique to hold the mask in place while you lift the jaw to hold the airway open
3. Squeeze the bag to give breaths (1 second each) while watching for chest rise
, Two life-threatening arrhythmias that can cause cardiac arrest are pulseless ventricular tachycardia and
___________________________ -✔✔Ventricular fibrillation
After an AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next? -✔✔Resume CPR, starting with chest
compressions
What is the correct chest compression rate for adults? -✔✔100-120/minute
How are breaths delivered using a bag mask device? -✔✔1 breath over 1 second, while watching for
chest rise
Why is an AED needed? -✔✔To analyze heart rhythm and provide a shock
How do you open the airway for breaths if a single rescuer is present? -✔✔head tilt - chin lift
Where should AED pads be placed in the anteroposterior placement for adults and children 8 years and
older? -✔✔Left side of the back and left side of the chest
You and your colleague respond to an adult victim who is unresponsive. After assessing that the victim is
not breathing and has no pulse, what do you instruct your colleague to do? -✔✔Activate the
emergency response system and get the AED
You tap and shout to check for responsiveness, but the patient does not respond. What is your next step
after calling for help? -✔✔check for breathing and a pulse
You find a patient not breathing normally but has a pulse. The patient needs rescue breaths. What's the
correct ventilation rate? -✔✔1 breath every 6 seconds, or about 10 breaths per minute
