CPR And First Aid 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the correct compression depth for an adult during CPR?
- At least 2 inches (5 cm) (Correct answer)
- About 1 inch (2.5 cm)
- At least 4 inches (10 cm)
- Just enough to feel resistance
Correct answer: At least 2 inches (5 cm)
Adult chest compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep but no more than 2.4 inches.
Question 2: What is the recommended compression rate for CPR on an adult?
- 60 to 80 per minute
- 100 to 120 per minute (Correct answer)
- 140 to 160 per minute
- As fast as possible
Correct answer: 100 to 120 per minute
Effective CPR uses a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
Question 3: For a choking conscious adult, which technique should you use?
- Back blows only
- Abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) (Correct answer)
- Chest compressions
- Have them drink water
Correct answer: Abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver)
Abdominal thrusts are used to dislodge an obstruction in a conscious choking adult.
Question 4: What should you do first when you find an unresponsive person?
- Start compressions immediately
- Check the scene for safety (Correct answer)
- Give two rescue breaths
- Search for their phone
Correct answer: Check the scene for safety
Ensuring the scene is safe protects you and the victim before you provide care.
Question 5: What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio for single-rescuer adult CPR?
- 15:2
- 5:1
- 30:2 (Correct answer)
- 10:1
Correct answer: 30:2
A single rescuer gives 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths for an adult.
Question 6: When using an AED, what must you do before delivering a shock?
- Pour water on the chest
- Ensure no one is touching the victim (Correct answer)
- Remove the pads
- Give a rescue breath
Correct answer: Ensure no one is touching the victim
Everyone must be clear of the victim so the shock is not absorbed by a rescuer.
Question 7: How should you treat a minor burn?
- Apply ice directly
- Cool it with running water (Correct answer)
- Cover it with butter
- Pop any blisters
Correct answer: Cool it with running water
Cool running water reduces heat and pain without damaging the skin further.
