  1. When performing CPR on an adult, what is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio?

    Answer: 30:2

    The correct adult CPR ratio is 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths.

  2. An AED advises 'No shock recommended' after analyzing the rhythm. What should you do next?

    Answer: Resume CPR immediately

    If the AED finds no shockable rhythm, resume CPR immediately starting with chest compressions.

  3. During two-rescuer CPR, when should rescuers switch roles?

    Answer: Every 2 minutes or 5 cycles

    Rescuers should switch every 2 minutes (5 cycles) to prevent fatigue and maintain effective compression quality.

  4. A 7-year-old child collapses. Which AED pads should be used if only adult pads are available?

    Answer: Use adult pads placed front and back

    If pediatric pads are unavailable, adult pads may be used on children with one pad on the chest and one on the back.

  5. What is the correct hand position for chest compressions on an adult?

    Answer: On the lower half of the sternum

    Compressions should be delivered on the lower half of the sternum to effectively compress the heart.

  6. You are alone and need to call for help before starting CPR on an unresponsive adult. What is the correct action?

    Answer: Call 911 first, then begin CPR

    For an unresponsive adult, call 911 (or have someone else call) before starting CPR to activate emergency services.

  7. How long should you check for a pulse before concluding there is none and starting CPR?

    Answer: No more than 10 seconds

    You should check for a carotid pulse for no more than 10 seconds before starting chest compressions.
