1 rescuer child 30:2
2 rescuer child 15:2
Proper compression rate for CPR Correct Answer-100-120 bpm
Proper depth of compression adult Correct Answer-Atleast 2 - 2.5 in.
Proper depth of compression children Correct Answer-1/3 depth of
chest. 2 in.
Proper depth of compression infants Correct Answer-1/3 depth of chest.
1.5 in.
Why must you allow chest to recoil during CPR Correct Answer-During
recoil the heart is filled with blood before being compressed and
circulated to the body. Without proper recoil the heart doesn't fill and the
brain isn't properly perfused
,maximum time compressions should be interrupted during CPR? Correct
Answer-10 seconds
Proper ventilation ratio during CPR with advanced airway in place?
Correct Answer-1 breath every 6 seconds (10 breaths/min.)

ventricular fibrillation
pulseless ventricular tachycardia

Describe the flow of blood through the body Correct Answer-Blood
pumped by the R ventricle through the pulmonary artery to the lungs.
Where blood is oxygenated before being sent back through pulmonary
veins to the L atrium. Blood flows into the L ventricle, responsible for
pumping blood into the aorta, & then out through arteries to the body.
Arteries branch off into arterioles & then into capillaries,where nutrient
exchange occurs w/cells, lastly blood flows back into veins to the
inferior/superior vena cava before returning to the heart.

pressure in the blood vessels while the heart is contracting. TOP #
diastolic - pressure in the blood vessels while the heart is at rest.

What are SEVEN signs of cardiac compromise Correct Answer-1)
Abnormal BP 2) Pain, pressure, or discomfort 3)Shortness of breath 4)
Palpitations 5) Anxiety and/or irritability 6) Abnormal pulse 7)Sudden
onset of nausea/vomiting
Auscultation of the lungs reveal crackles & the patient is having
difficulty breathing. Which side of the heart do you believe to be
affected & why? Correct Answer-Shortness of breath w/crackles in the
lungs is indicative of left sided heart failure. The failure of the left
ventricle to effectively pump blood to the body cause the blood to back
up or be congested in the lungs
Right sided heart failure cause blood to back up in the body causing
pitting edema throughout the body. What's the name of this condition
and what's the cause ? Correct Answer-Cor Pulmonale. The usual cause
is pulmonary disease such as pulmonary hypotension or pulmonary
stenosis (obstruction within the pulmonary artery
