A Soldier collapses after the Hand-Release Push-Up and is unresponsive and not breathing normally. What should the grader do first?
Answer: Call for help/EMS and send for an AED, then begin CPR
Activating emergency response and getting an AED, then starting CPR, is the first step for an unresponsive non-breathing adult.
What is the correct compression rate for adult CPR?
Answer: 100-120 per minute
Current guidelines call for 100-120 compressions per minute.
What is the recommended compression depth for an adult?
Answer: At least 2 inches but no more than 2.4 inches
Adult compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) but not exceed 2.4 inches (6 cm).
For a single rescuer performing adult CPR, what is the compression-to-breath ratio?
Answer: 30:2
Single-rescuer adult CPR uses 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
When an AED arrives during CPR, what should be done?
Answer: Turn it on and follow its prompts as soon as possible
The AED should be used as soon as it is available, minimizing interruptions to compressions.
The Soldier's chest is wet with sweat when the AED arrives. What should the rescuer do before placing the pads?
Answer: Quickly wipe the chest dry
Pads need dry skin to adhere and deliver an effective shock.
How long should a rescuer take to check for breathing and a pulse before starting CPR?
Answer: No more than 10 seconds
Checks should take no more than 10 seconds to avoid delaying compressions.
