FREE BLS Certification: Respiratory Arrest Questions and Answers

You see a teen kid lying on the ground in the hallway where you work at a high school. What is your initial course of action after establishing the safety of the situation?

check for a pulse by palpating a carotid pulse

check for breathing by scanning the victim's chest

begin CPR with chest compressions using two hand technique

check responsiveness by tapping the victim's shoulder and shouting "are you OK?"

Correct! Wrong!

After determining that the location is secure, the first thing to do is to see if anyone is responsive.

How often should you provide one breath as you start your rescue breathing?

every 2-3 seconds

every 2-4 seconds

every 8-10 seconds

every 5-6 seconds

Correct! Wrong!

The pediatric patient receives rescue breaths at a rate of one breath every two to three seconds or around 20 to 30 breaths per minute.

The bystander uses their cell phone to dial 911 and then goes in search of an AED. How will you intervene next?

wait for the AED

begin CPR

obtain a brief medical history from the mother

look for breathing and check for a pulse simultaneously

Correct! Wrong!

The next step is to concurrently check for breathing and a pulse after making sure that emergency services are called and an AED is secured. Make sure the time allotted for this check is under 10 seconds.

The pulse check confirms that the infant DOES have a pulse and that the child IS NOT breathing. The heartbeat is roughly 90 per minute.
(Is it correct?) As soon as the heart rate drops below 100 beats per minute, you should start chest compressions.

False

True

Correct! Wrong!

This is false. Only start compressions if the pulse stays below 60 beats per minute and there are indicators of poor perfusion.

What would you do after establishing that the child is unresponsive by tapping the child's shoulder and asking, "Are you OK?" now that the kid is not responding?

check for a pulse

begin CPR

instruct an onlooker to call 911 and get an AED

give two rescue breaths

Correct! Wrong!

The next step after determining responsiveness is to call emergency services and get an AED because there are bystanders nearby who can help with these activities as you continue with the BLS routine.

Unnoticed for a short amount of time, a 2-year-old boy fell into a swimming pool. When the youngster was discovered, his mother, who was terrified, quickly took him out of the water. As a BLS provider, you provide help. You start by making sure the area is secure.
At this point in the scenario, what action will you take?

check a pulse

begin CPR

give two rescue breaths

check for responsiveness

Correct! Wrong!

Verifying whether the patient is responsive or not comes after the scene has been made safe.

An observer who had gone to get an AED returns. What will your following intervention be?

perform a sternal rub to arouse the child

begin rescue breathing

place child on their left side in the recovery position

open the airway and continue to see if the patient will breathe on their own

Correct! Wrong!

You should start rescue breathing as soon as you determine respiratory arrest is happening. AED analysis will be prepared if an AED is attached at this point in case the patient loses their pulse. Most AEDs are equipped with rescue breathing apparatus. Rescue breathing equipment should be checked in the AED container. Start utilizing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to start rescue breathing if a rescue breathing apparatus is not available.

The victim doesn't say anything. Therefore, you tell an instructor to dial 911 and retrieve the AED. What will be your following intervention?

give two rescue breaths

check for a pulse and breathing simultaneously

wait to begin until the defibrillator arrives

begin CPR with chest compressions

Correct! Wrong!

After calling 911 and sending someone to get an AED, check for respiration and the carotid pulse.

You are currently giving rescue breaths at a frequency of one every two to three seconds. With each ventilation, your chest is rising and falling properly.
How frequently should the pulse be checked again to make sure cardiac arrest is not present?

every 1 minute

every 2 minutes

every 3-5 minutes

continuously

Correct! Wrong!

Every two minutes or so, the pulse should be checked again. Start chest compressions during CPR if there isn't a pulse.

When performing rescue breathing, you can use the head tilt-chin lift or the jaw push to open the airway. If a head or neck injury is suspected, which technique is used?

jaw thrust

either may be used

head tilt-chin lift

none of the above

Correct! Wrong!

In the event that a head or neck injury is suspected, use the jaw-thrust procedure to limit neck and spine motion. The head tilt-chin lift maneuver may be applied if the task push is ineffective in opening the airway.

Although you can tell that the patient DOES have a pulse, you cannot observe any chest movement. The patient doesn't seem to be breathing, unfortunately. What should be the next course of action?

begin rescue breathing 1 breath every 6 seconds

place on the left side in rescue position

begin chest compressions

begin rescue breathing 1 breath every 3-5 seconds

Correct! Wrong!

Provide rescue breathing at a rate of 1 breath every 6 seconds to the adult and teenage victim who is experiencing respiratory arrest.
