BLS AHA FOR HEALTHCARE
PROVIDERS EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
/. 30:2 - Answer-The rate of compressions to breaths for single rescuer child and adult
CPR
/.Shock Advised - Answer-If an AED detects a shockable rhythm it will charge itself
while prompting everyone to clear the victim. It then prompts rescuers to press this
button
/.Chest recoil - Answer-Heart is refilled with blood in order for compressions to cause
blood flow
/.No shock required - Answer-Rescuers immediately resume CPR with chest
compression if AED does not recommend
/.Brachial pulse - Answer-On an infant, a heart rate should be checked on the inside of
the upper arm between the just above the elbow
/.15:2 - Answer-Compression-to-breaths ratio for 2-rescuer child CPR
/.Begin CPR - Answer-Withing 10 seconds of recognizing potential cardiac arrest.
/.100-120 - Answer-The rate of compressions per minute for high-quality CPR
/.Cardiac arrest - Answer-Victim is unresponsive, not breathing or ineffective breathing
/.2 inches - Answer-Depth of compression for children to adult
/.Thumb encircling compressions - Answer-Used only for 2 rescuer infant CPR. Hands
are placed around infants chest with thumbs on the sternum
/.1/3 of chest diameter (1.5") - Answer-Compression depth for an infant
/.Chest rise - Answer-Effective rescue breaths are evaluated by watching the victim for
this reaction
/.Pediatric pads - Answer-Using adult pads for a child or infant if these are not available
