✍️ Sample CPR Questions & Answers

1. What should a rescuer do if the first rescue breath does not cause the chest to rise?
✓ Reposition the airway and attempt a second breath

If the first breath does not produce chest rise, reposition the airway (retilt the head and lift the chin) before attempting a second breath.

2. What does CPR stand for?
✓ Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, a life-saving technique used when someone's heart or breathing has stopped.

3. What is the recommended treatment for a conscious adult who is choking and cannot cough, speak, or breathe?
✓ Abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver)

For a conscious adult with a complete airway obstruction (unable to cough, speak, or breathe), deliver abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) until the object is dislodged or the victim becomes unconscious.

4. What is the correct compression depth for child CPR?
✓ At least 1.5 inches (4 cm)

Child chest compressions should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep — about one-third of the chest's anterior-posterior diameter.

5. In CPR guidelines, what age range defines a 'child'?
✓ 1 year to puberty (approximately 12 years)

AHA guidelines define a child as being between 1 year old and the onset of puberty for the purpose of CPR technique selection.

6. When should you stop performing CPR?
✓ When the victim shows signs of life, EMS takes over, or you are too exhausted to continue

CPR should stop when the victim regains signs of life, trained EMS personnel take over, an AED advises to stop, or the rescuer is physically unable to continue.
