CPR Online Class Questions & Answers 100%
Correct!!

After positioning yourself directly above the victim's head, what is the correct order of steps for using
a bag-mask device? - ANSWER-1. Place the mask on the victim's face, using the bridge of the nose as
a guide for the correct position



2. Use the E-C clamp technique to hold the mask in place while you lift the jaw to hold the airway
open



3. Squeeze the bag to give breaths (1 second each) while watching for chest rise



How are breaths delivered using a bag-mask device? - ANSWER-1 breath over 1 second, while
watching for chest rise



Why an AED is needed - ANSWER-- Most sudden cardiac arrests are triggered by abnormal heart
rhythms called arrhythmias



- Two life-threatening arrhythmias that can cause cardiac arrest are pulseless ventricular
tachycardia(pVT) and ventricular Fibrillation (VF) where the heart's electrical impulses suddenly
become chaotic and ineffective



- Blow flow to the brain stops abruptly, and the victim loses consciousness



-Death usually follows unless a normal heart rhythm and pulse are restored within minutes



Why is an AED needed? - ANSWER-To analyze the heart rhythm and provide a shock



After an AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next? - ANSWER-Resume CPR, starting
with chest compressions



How to Use an AED - ANSWER-Step 1: Power on the AED if needed

,- Follow the prompts (as a guide to next steps)



Step 2: Choose adult pads for victim 8 years of age and older

- Attack the adhesive AED pads to the victim's bare chest

- Follow the diagrams on the pads



Step 3: When AED prompts you, clear the victim during analysis. Be sure no one is touching the
victim, not even the rescuer in charge of giving breaths

- Some AEDs will tell you to push a button to allow the AED to begin analyzing the heart rhythm;
others will do automatically

- The AED may take a few seconds to analyze



Step 4:

If the AED advises a shock:

- it will charge and then tell you again to clear the victim

- Clear the victim before delivering the shock

- Pressure the shock button

- The shock will produce a sudden contraction of the victim's muscles

- After any shock delivery, immediately resume CPR



If no shock is needed:

- Immediately resume CPR, starting with compressions



Where should the AED pads be placed in the anterolateral placement for adults and children 8 years
or older? - ANSWER--Below the right collarbone



-Side of left nipple



AED pad placement: Adults and children 8 years and older - ANSWER-Anterolateral Placement:

- place one pad directly bellow the right collarbone

- Place the other pad to the side of the left nipple, with the top edge of the pad a few inches below
the armpit

, Anteroposterior placement:

- Place one AED pad on the left side of the chest, halfway between the tip of the breastbone and left
nipple with upper edge of the pad below the nipple line

- Place the other pad on the left side of victim's back, beneath the should blade, next to the spine



What is recommended to minimize interruptions in compressions when using an AED? - ANSWER--
Continue with a high-quality CPR until an AED prompts to clear



- If no shock is advised and after any shock delivery, immediately resume high-quality CPR, starting
with chest compressions



- When 2 or more rescuers are present, one rescuer should continue chest compressions while the
other prepares the AED



Scene Safety, Responsive and Assessment - ANSWER-The first step in the adult BLS sequence for 1 or
2 or more rescuers is to verify the scene is safe



Check for responsiveness and get help. Tap the victim's should and shout, "Are you OK?



If the victim is not responsive, shout for nearby help. If you are alone get the AED/defibrillator; if
someone else is available send that person to get it



Next, look for no breathing or only gasping and check the pulse simultaneously. Is a pulse definitely
felt within 10 seconds?



If there is normal breathing and a pulse felt, monitor until emergency responders arrive



If there is no normal breathing and pulse is felt, provide rescue breathing, Give 1 breath every 6
seconds, or 10 breaths/min. Check the pulse every 2 minutes and if there is no pulse, start CPR. If
possible opioid overdose, administer naloxone if available per protocol



If there is no normal breathing or only gasping and a pulse is not felt, start CPR. Perform cycles of 30
compressions and 2 breaths and use the AED as soon as it is available
