What are the 4 actions you can take to make a difference in the outcome of an injured/ill person?

Recognize- that emergency exists

Decide- to take action

Activate- emergency medical services (EMS)

Give Care- by your knowledge and level of training until EMS arrives




Explain the key differences between hands-only CPR and conventional CPR. In what situations

is hands-only CPR recommended over conventional CPR?

Hands-only CPR involves chest compressions without rescue breaths, recommended for

untrained bystanders or when rescue breaths are not feasible. Conventional CPR is preferred for

trained individuals or in cases involving children, infants, or drowning victims.



How do you determine the need for high-quality CPR, and what are the critical components of

effective compressions?

High-quality CPR is needed when the victim is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no

pulse. Effective compressions require compressing at least 2 inches deep at a rate of 100-120

compressions per minute, allowing full chest recoil.

, In a two-rescuer CPR scenario, how should the roles be divided between the rescuers to ensure

the most efficient care is provided?

One rescuer performs chest compressions while the other delivers rescue breaths and

operates the AED. Rescuers should switch roles every 2 minutes to reduce fatigue and maintain

effective compressions.



Why is early defibrillation important in the Chain of Survival, and how does it increase the

likelihood of survival in cardiac arrest cases?

Early defibrillation restores a regular heart rhythm during cardiac arrest, increasing survival

rates significantly. The sooner an AED is used, the better the chances of survival, as each minute

of delay decreases success by 7-10%.



What are the potential complications of incorrect hand placement or depth during CPR, and how

can these be avoided?

Incorrect hand placement or excessive depth can cause rib fractures or internal injuries. To

avoid this, place the hands on the center of the chest and compress to the recommended depth.



Describe the rescue breathing technique for a victim who is unresponsive and not breathing but

has a pulse. How does this differ from full CPR?

Rescue breathing involves giving one breath every 5-6 seconds for an adult, while

monitoring the pulse. Unlike full CPR, there are no chest compressions since the heart is still

beating.
