Basic Life Support (BLS) and Cardiac Arrest Concepts

module test 3 Question How much does the chance of survival decrease each minute after cardiac arrest if BLS is not begun What makes clinical and biological death different BLS does not include _______ When should a cardiac arrest victim be put into the recovery position How much blood is pumped during an effective chest compression compared to a normal heartbeat Which of the following causes of cardiac arrest is most common among much older victims of cardiac arrest Which of the following is not a sign of cardiac arrest What does BLS stand for CPR has three basics steps. Which of the options shows the correct order for these steps How does defibrillation work Approximately how long after cardiac arrest do brain cells begin to die What is cardiac arrest Which of the following conditions poses the greatest threat to a person's life Which of the choices below is not a reason to stop BLS Answer About 10% Biological death occurs when organs can no longer function or be revived Advanced care in a hospital When signs of spontaneous circulation are seen 30% Heart condition Victim is holding their throat and gasping for breath Basic Life Support Circulation, airway, breathing It stuns the heart to stop ventricular fibrillation 1 minute When the heart stops effectively pumping blood Cardiac arrest A defibrillator is not available Which of the following is true CPR may prevent biological death if performed immediately after clinical death During CPR, what is the ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths in adults 30 compressions to 2 breaths How is the carotid artery found By sliding your fingers between the trachea and the muscles on the side of the neck What should be covered by a pocket-mask or bag-mask Which of the following outcomes is NOT a sign of high-quality CPR In a one-person rescue, you attempt to deliver a rescue breath and the victim's chest does not rise. How should you proceed What is the first link in the adult Out-ofHospital chain of survival What action should you take when the AED is analyzing the heart rhythm An adult victim, suspected of an opioid overdose, has no pulse and is not breathing. What should be the rescuer's next step How can you tell if a child has reached the onset of puberty In which of the following situations would it be safe to use an AED Which of the following are valid reasons to stop CPR The mouth and nose Increasing breath volume to completely fill lungs every time Quickly check the positioning of the head and deliver another breath before starting compressions Activation of the emergency response system Stand clear of the victim Provide high-quality CPR The child has secondary sex characteristics The victim is lying in a small puddle of water The victim regains normal circulation and breathing, Advanced life support, such as an ambulance, arrives, A valid document is presented noting that the victim is not to be resuscitated, (all of the above) Which of the following is a benefit of having two people involved in CPR What effect can rescuer fatigue have on chest compressions How should your bottom hand be placed on a person's chest for compressions Which of the following situations would lead to using a jaw-thrust method to open the airway Chest compressions on adults should be done to what depth true or false In a two-person rescue, the chest compressions should stop while the AED is being set up and the pads applied. Which of the following statements correctly explains a guideline for high-quality CPR What is an important difference between the in-hospital and out-of-hospital chains of survival A team leader assigns a task to another person. Which of the following actions demonstrates good closed-loop communication In two-person CPR, if the victim is unresponsive, what two tasks should happen immediately When is it appropriate to place a victim in the recovery position If a person has a pulse but is not breathing, what should be done? What would be a valid reason to delay the start of CPR Which of the following victims can have their pulse taken on their femoral artery Which compression technique can be used on an infant during CPR when there is one rescuer Where would you take a pulse using the femoral artery In the infant recovery position, how is the head held About how long should each compression take in pediatric CPR If the victim has a definite pulse but no normal breathing, how often should rescue breaths be given What compression technique should be used on an infant during CPR when there are multiple rescuers Of the following steps in a one-person rescue, which one would occur last What is a difference between adult and pediatric CPR Where would you take a pulse using the brachial artery What is the first step in the Pediatric Chain of Survival What is the ratio of chest compressions and rescue breaths during pediatric CPR when The rescuers can switch roles Compressions become shallow and ineffective The heel of the hand should be placed over the lower half of the sternum. Potential neck or spine injury Between 2-2.4" false Bulky clothes should be quickly moved out of the way. If the clothes are difficult to remove, you can still provide compressions over clothing Outside of the hospital, activating the emergency response system is the very first step. The person repeats the message and acknowledges when the task is done Check for pulse and breathing; activate emergency response system When ROSC has been restored Give rescue breaths every 6 seconds; check pulse and breathing every 2 minutes. The victim is bleeding heavily from their leg A child victim Two thumb-encircling hands Heel of one hand Two-finger (all of the above) Groin Lower than the body Less than 1 second Once every 2 to 3 seconds Two thumb-encircling hands Checking for responsiveness More emphasis is given to rescue breaths in pediatric CPR Bicep Prevention 15:2 there are multiple rescuers Where should a child be placed when being moved to the recovery position How are rescue breaths given during infant CPR when no barrier device is available What precaution should be taken when adult AED pads are used on cardiac arrest victims under 8 years old How long should you spend checking for a pulse and normal breathing during pediatric CPR Of the following causes of cardiac arrest in infants and children, which is the least common How deep should compressions be during CPR on an infant In pediatric CPR, what is the age range for a child What is the ratio of chest compressions and rescue breaths during pediatric CPR when there is one rescuer Where on the infant's back should the back blow be administered How should abdominal thrusts be given When does choking occur What is the most common cause of choking for young children and infants Which of the following can affect the methods for clearing an airway Which of the following is true Which of the following victims needs abdominal thrusts How many back blows should be given to an infant If back blows do not clear an obstructed airway in an infant, what is the next step a rescuer should take If an airway obstruction is removed in an unresponsive infant, what is the next step Which of the following is true when it comes to obstructions in the trachea What should a rescuer do if a victim becomes unconscious during abdominal thrusts How should you treat a pregnant choking victim If giving CPR to an unresponsive choking victim, when should you check for foreign objects in the mouth Which method is used to clear an obstructed airway in an infant On their side, using the same procedure you would with an adult Through the mouth and nose Make sure the pads are placed so that they do not touch At least 5 seconds, but no longer than 10 seconds Heart disease About one and a half inches Between 1 year and the onset of puberty 30:2 Between the infant's shoulder blades Quickly, with an inward and upward motion When the trachea is blocked Choking on small objects they accidentally swallowed Age of victim , Weight of victim , Whether or not the victim is pregnant, ( all of the above) Death from choking is uncommon because rescuers act quickly to clear the airway A victim who cannot talk and is grabbing their throat Five with enough force to dislodge the object Turn the infant over and perform chest thrusts Check for responsiveness An unconscious victim may be easier to treat because the muscles in the throat relax Immediately begin CPR Use chest thrusts Before giving two rescue breaths Give sets of 5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts
