Healthcare BLS Provider Certification Course

Which of the following correctly describes the recommended hand placement for adult chest compressions?

Rescue breaths should be given with excessive force to ensure air enters the lungs.

A victim of drowning is found unresponsive and not breathing. What should you do first?

In a hospital setting, what is the preferred method for delivering rescue breaths to an unresponsive patient?

Naloxone should be administered to any unresponsive patient regardless of the suspected cause.

Which patient would require the use of pediatric AED pads instead of adult pads?

A healthcare provider should continue CPR until the patient shows signs of life, an AED prompts otherwise, or emergency responders take over.

Which of the following is NOT a role in a team-based resuscitation?

Which of the following is the most effective way to minimize interruptions during CPR?

Healthcare providers should prioritize ventilation over compressions in a patient with cardiac arrest.

If a patient has a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order, healthcare providers should still begin CPR until confirmed documentation is available.

What is the recommended action if a responsive choking adult can cough forcefully?

Healthcare providers should check for breathing and a pulse at the same time to minimize delays in starting CPR.

In two-rescuer adult CPR, when should rescuers switch roles?

In pregnant patients, performing manual left uterine displacement can improve blood flow during CPR.

How often should pulse checks be performed when providing rescue breathing to a patient with a pulse?

What is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio for a single rescuer performing CPR on an adult?

Healthcare providers should switch roles every 5 minutes to prevent fatigue during high-quality CPR.

A bag-mask device should deliver each breath over 2 seconds to ensure adequate ventilation.

Which of the following is the preferred pulse check location for an infant?

Which action should be taken first if an infant is unresponsive and not breathing normally?

Which of the following describes the correct hand placement for chest compressions on an infant during single-rescuer CPR?

When performing CPR on a child, what is the correct compression depth?

If a patient is gasping for air but has no pulse, this is considered normal breathing and CPR is not needed.

Which of the following is a sign of effective chest compressions?

If an AED detects a non-shockable rhythm, what is the next step?

If a choking victim becomes unresponsive, the rescuer should first activate the emergency response system and then start CPR immediately.

Healthcare providers should delay CPR to check for normal breathing for at least 20 seconds.

An unconscious patient with a pulse but no normal breathing requires CPR.

If an advanced airway is in place, how often should ventilations be given during CPR?

If a victim has a pulse but is not breathing, what should you do?

What should a rescuer do if a patient regains a pulse but remains unresponsive with no normal breathing?

How should a rescuer deliver ventilations using a bag-mask device during two-rescuer CPR?

Rescue breaths should be given with excessive force to ensure air enters the lungs.

Healthcare providers should avoid excessive ventilation because it can cause increased intrathoracic pressure and reduce cardiac output.

What is the best method for opening the airway of an unresponsive trauma patient with a suspected spinal injury?

Which of the following actions helps minimize interruptions in chest compressions during CPR?

A choking adult who can speak and cough forcefully should immediately receive abdominal thrusts.

During two-rescuer CPR, how often should rescuers switch roles to prevent fatigue?

Which of the following is the primary goal of high-quality chest compressions?

Healthcare providers should use the head tilt-chin lift technique for all unresponsive patients.

If an advanced airway is in place during CPR, how often should ventilations be given?

Chest compressions should be performed on a soft surface to prevent injury.

What should a healthcare provider do if they are unsure whether a patient has a pulse?

Chest compressions should be performed on a soft surface to prevent injury.

Which of the following is a sign that an infant is experiencing effective ventilation?

If an advanced airway is in place, how often should ventilations be given during CPR?

How often should an AED reanalyze a patient's rhythm when CPR is in progress?

Rescue breaths should be given with excessive force to ensure air enters the lungs.

What is the primary reason why high-quality chest compressions are critical during CPR?

Which of the following describes high-quality chest compressions for a child?

Healthcare providers should perform rescue breaths using a bag-mask device whenever available.

What is the recommended compression rate for adult CPR?

How should rescuers handle a patient who has a pacemaker and needs defibrillation?

A child with a pulse but no normal breathing should receive how many breaths per minute during rescue breathing?
