CPR BLS Exam 2024 AHAWhy is defibrillation important? - ANSIt can restore a regular cardiac rhythm (An AED can
identify an abnormal heart rhythm that needs a shock. The AED can then deliver a shock
that can convert a rhythm back to normal.)
While performing high-quality CPR on an adult patient, what action should you ensure is
being accomplished? - ANSCompressing 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? - ANSTurn 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.)
After the AED pads are attached to the victim's bare chest, the AED prompts you to shock
the victim. What is the next step when using an AED? - ANSFollow 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? - ANSPull 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? -
ANSStart CPR, beginning with chest compressions (Choking 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.)
When using a bag-mask device, how can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective
breaths? - ANSObserving the chest rise with breaths (Squeeze the bag to give breaths (1
second each) while watching for chest rise. Deliver each breath over 1 second, with or
without supplementary oxygen.)
What ratio for compressions to breaths should be used for 1-rescuer infant CPR? - ANS30
compressions to 2 breaths (For 1-rescuer infant CPR, the correct compression-to-ventilation
ratio is 30:2.)
