CPR BLS for Healthcare Providers

Question 1

What is the recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio for single-rescuer adult CPR in the BLS for Healthcare Providers course?

Accepted Answer

30:2

Answer

The 30:2 ratio is the standard for single-rescuer adult CPR, minimizing interruptions to compressions while providing adequate ventilation.

Question 2

In the BLS for Healthcare Providers course, what is the correct compression depth for adult CPR?

Accepted Answer

At least 2 inches but no more than 2.4 inches

Answer

AHA guidelines recommend at least 2 inches (5 cm) but no more than 2.4 inches (6 cm) for adult chest compressions to ensure adequate perfusion without injury.

Question 3

During two-rescuer CPR for an adult patient, what should the compressor do while the ventilator delivers breaths?

Accepted Answer

Pause compressions for 2 seconds

Answer

In two-rescuer adult CPR, compressions should pause briefly (less than 10 seconds) to allow effective ventilations to be delivered.

Question 4

What is the recommended compression rate for adult CPR in the BLS for Healthcare Providers guidelines?

Accepted Answer

100-120 compressions per minute

Answer

The AHA recommends 100-120 compressions per minute for adult CPR to optimize cardiac output and perfusion pressure.

Question 5

When should a healthcare provider check for a carotid pulse during the BLS algorithm?

Accepted Answer

Before starting CPR if the patient is unresponsive and not breathing normally

Answer

Healthcare providers should check the carotid pulse for no more than 10 seconds if a patient is unresponsive and not breathing normally before beginning CPR.
