  1. What is 'CPR feedback' technology designed to do?

    Answer: Provide real-time audio or visual prompts to help rescuers achieve correct compression rate and depth

    CPR feedback devices provide real-time prompts on rate, depth, and recoil to help rescuers maintain high-quality compressions.

  2. A rescuer is performing CPR on an adult and the AED advises 'no shock recommended.' What should the rescuer do?

    Answer: Immediately resume CPR beginning with chest compressions

    When the AED gives a 'no shock' message, the rescuer should immediately resume CPR starting with compressions.

  3. During an active resuscitation, which intervention should NOT interrupt chest compressions for more than 10 seconds?

    Answer: All of the above

    All of these interventions — rhythm analysis, intubation, and pulse checks — should be limited to no more than 10 seconds of interruption to compressions.

  4. What is the recommended action if a victim vomits during CPR?

    Answer: Turn the victim to the side, clear the airway, then resume CPR

    The victim should be turned to the side to clear vomit from the airway, then CPR should be resumed as quickly as possible.

  5. Which of the following scenarios is an indication to stop CPR?

    Answer: ROSC occurs, a valid DNR is produced, or rescuers are physically unable to continue

    CPR should be stopped when ROSC is achieved, a valid DNR is presented, or rescuers are physically exhausted with no additional help available.

  6. What should a rescuer do if the victim shows obvious signs of life during CPR?

    Answer: Stop compressions and reassess breathing and pulse

    If signs of life appear (breathing, movement, coughing), compressions should stop and the rescuer should reassess pulse and breathing.

  7. In the context of BLS, what does 'high-performance CPR' emphasize?

    Answer: Minimizing interruptions, achieving correct rate and depth, and ensuring full recoil with team coordination

    High-performance CPR focuses on minimizing interruptions, correct compression rate/depth, full recoil, and coordinated team roles to optimize outcomes.
