Why is defibrillation important? - correct answer It can
restore a regular cardiac rhythm (An AED can identify an

normal.)
While performing high-quality CPR on an adult patient,
what action should you ensure is being accomplished? -
correct answer Compressing to a depth of at least 2
inches (When performing chest compressions on an adult
(or adolescent), a compression depth of at least 2 inches
(5 cm) should be used.)
A 63-year-old man collapses while mowing the lawn. He is
unresponsive, is not breathing, and does not have a
pulse. A neighbor, who is an EMT, rushes to her with an
AED. When the AED arrives, what is the first step for
using it? - correct answer Turn on the AED (The first
step for using an AED (when it becomes available) is to
power on the AED if needed. Some devices will power on
automatically when you open the lid or case. Because
AEDs vary according to the model and manufacturer, it is
important to become familiar with the AED used in your
particular setting.)

chest, the AED prompts you to shock the victim. What is
the next step when using an AED? - correct answer
Follow the AED prompts and press the shock button once
everyone is clear. (After the AED pads are attached to the
victim's bare chest, you should follow the AED prompts.
The AED will analyze the victim's heart rhythm and
prompt you to deliver a shock if needed.)
What should you do if you need to use an AED on
someone who has been submerged in a pool? - correct
answer Pull the victim out of the water, and wipe the
chest, and use the AED (Special situations may require
the rescuer to take additional actions when placing AED
pads for a victim who is immersed in water. In this case,
the victim should be pulled out of the water. If the chest
is covered with some water, it should be quickly wiped
before attaching the AED pads.)
A victim with who is choking becomes unresponsive.
What is your first course of action? - correct answer

victims with severe airway obstruction may worsen and
become unresponsive. If this occurs, then high-quality
CPR must be started immediately, beginning with chest
compressions.)
