-Give a series of abdominal thrusts
-Place him in a recovery position CORRECT ANSWER Immediately provide CPR
, You are attending to a person who is unresponsive, gasping, but you can clearly feel a carotid pulse.
What is the determined problem?
-Sudden cardiac arrest
-Secondary cardiac arrest
-Respiratory arrest
-Respiratory distress CORRECT ANSWER Respiratory arrest

at should you do?

A roofer was electrocuted when his aluminum ladder contacted an energized power line. The scene has
been made safe and you have determined he is in cardiac arrest. The AED has analyzed the heart and
is indicating a shock is advised. What should you do?

-Allow the AED to reanalyze and immediately deliver another shock
-Immediately resume CPRVand follow any instructions given by the AED CORRECT ANSWER
Immediately resume CPR and follow any instructions given by the AED

-15:2 with 2 thumbs and the fingers encircling the chest
-30:2 with 2 fingertips placed just below the nipple line
-15:2 with 2 fingertips placed just below the nipple line CORRECT
ANSWER 15:2 with 2 thumbs and the fingers encircling the chest
