Question 1: What is the emergency call number for the pan-European emergency services, including in Germany?
- 112 (Correct answer)
- 110
- 911
- 999
Correct answer: 112
112 is the unified EU-wide emergency number that connects callers to police, fire, and ambulance services from any phone, even without a SIM card.
Question 2: When arriving at a road traffic accident, what is the correct order of the first steps?
- Secure the scene, call emergency services, then provide first aid (Correct answer)
- Provide first aid immediately, then call emergency services
- Call emergency services first, then wait for them to arrive
- Move all casualties off the road, then call for help
Correct answer: Secure the scene, call emergency services, then provide first aid
Scene security comes first to prevent secondary accidents; then call 112 with location and details, and only then is it safe to approach and help casualties.
Question 3: What is the correct compression rate for adult CPR according to current guidelines?
- 100–120 compressions per minute (Correct answer)
- 60–80 compressions per minute
- 140–160 compressions per minute
- 80–100 compressions per minute
Correct answer: 100–120 compressions per minute
Current European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines specify a chest compression rate of 100–120 per minute for effective CPR in adults.
Question 4: If a casualty is unconscious but breathing normally, into which position should they be placed?
- The recovery position (stable side position) (Correct answer)
- Flat on their back
- Sitting upright
- Face down (prone)
Correct answer: The recovery position (stable side position)
The recovery position keeps the airway open and allows fluid to drain from the mouth, preventing a breathing casualty from choking if they vomit.
Question 5: Where must a warning triangle be placed on a German motorway when a vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident?
- At least 100 meters behind the hazard (Correct answer)
- Directly behind the vehicle
- 50 meters behind the hazard
- 200 meters behind the hazard
Correct answer: At least 100 meters behind the hazard
On German motorways, the warning triangle must be placed at least 100 meters behind the stopped vehicle to give approaching traffic sufficient warning time.
Question 6: What should you do if a crash victim is still in a vehicle that is not on fire and there is no immediate danger?
- Leave them in the vehicle and wait for professional rescuers unless airway is blocked (Correct answer)
- Pull them out immediately to check for injuries
- Rock the vehicle to check if it will roll
- Open all vehicle doors and wait
Correct answer: Leave them in the vehicle and wait for professional rescuers unless airway is blocked
Unnecessary movement of a crash victim risks worsening spinal injuries; they should only be moved if there is immediate danger such as fire, flood, or airway blockage.
