  1. What is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio for one-rescuer adult CPR?

    Answer: 30:2

    Single-rescuer adult CPR uses 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths.

  2. How deep should chest compressions be on an adult victim?

    Answer: At least 2 inches (5 cm)

    Adult compressions should be at least 2 inches but no more than 2.4 inches deep.

  3. What is the recommended rate of chest compressions per minute?

    Answer: 100 to 120

    Effective CPR uses a compression rate of 100 to 120 per minute.

  4. Where should you place your hands for adult chest compressions?

    Answer: Center of the chest on the lower half of the breastbone

    Hands are placed in the center of the chest on the lower half of the sternum.

  5. Why is full chest recoil important between compressions?

    Answer: It allows the heart to refill with blood

    Letting the chest fully recoil allows blood to return to the heart before the next compression.

    Answer: Activate emergency response and get an AED

    Call for help and send for an AED before starting compressions.
