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

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

Which of the following is a sign that an advanced airway is correctly placed?

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

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 the preferred pulse check location for an infant?

Rescue breathing without chest compressions is recommended for patients who have a pulse but are not breathing adequately.

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

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

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

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

When using a bag-mask device during CPR, how can a rescuer ensure an effective seal?

If a patient in cardiac arrest has a shockable rhythm, how soon should the first shock be delivered?

During CPR, rescuers should avoid excessive ventilation because it can lead to decreased cardiac output.

How deep should chest compressions be for an infant during CPR?

Healthcare providers should delay defibrillation until 5 cycles of CPR have been completed.

Which of the following best describes agonal breathing?

Which action is most important to minimize chest compression interruptions?

What is the recommended compression rate for adult CPR?

Which of the following is the most effective way to minimize interruptions in chest compressions?

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

Which of the following indicates that an advanced airway (such as an endotracheal tube) is correctly placed?

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

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

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

Which of the following conditions requires the immediate use of an AED?

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

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

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

How deep should chest compressions be for an adult during CPR?

What is the best way to ensure high-quality CPR in a team setting?

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

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

A healthcare provider should always check for a pulse for at least 15 seconds before starting chest compressions.

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

Which of the following is the most effective way to minimize interruptions in chest compressions?

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

Which of the following is an appropriate way to relieve severe choking in a responsive adult?

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

When using an AED, what is the first step after turning it on?

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

Where should AED pads be placed if a patient has a pacemaker?

Which of the following best describes agonal breathing?

How should healthcare providers assess an infant's responsiveness?

If a patient is unresponsive, pulseless, and not breathing, what is the first action a healthcare provider should take?

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

When using an AED, what is the first step after turning it on?

Which of the following actions should be taken immediately after an AED delivers a shock?

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

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

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

What is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio for two-rescuer CPR on a child?

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

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