American Red Cross BLS (Basic Life
Support)
While assessing an unresponsive adult who has been pulled from the water, you find that the patient
has only occasional gasps, no definitive pulse and no severe life-threatening bleeding. Which of the
following should you do next? - ✔✔Provide 2 ventilations and begin CPR



An adult choking victim becomes unresponsive after 7 abdominal thrusts. You lay them on the floor. The
next step you should do is to: - ✔✔Expose the chest and begin chest compressions.



You are performing chest compressions on a six-year-old. You should be compressing the chest to what
depth? - ✔✔ABOUT 2 inches



How should you place your hands when performing chest compressions on an infant during CPR with
two trained responders? - ✔✔Encircling thumbs technique with 2 thumbs just below the nipple line.



When possible, 2-responder ventilation with a bag-valve-mask is preferred because: - ✔✔It allows on
person to create and maintain a mask seal.



Your initial impression of a patient is based on: - ✔✔How the patient appears to you as you size up the
scene.



You have an infant that is apneic (no breathing) and pulseless. Another person is doing compressions.
There is no advanced airway in place. You need to ventilate: - ✔✔2 times after every 15th compression.



You happen to be at the mall when you notice a nine-year-old girl and her sixteen-year-old sister near
the candy store. The nine-year-old cannot cough, speak or make any gestures. - ✔✔You should begin
care as consent is implied.
