  1. What compression-to-ventilation ratio is recommended for single-rescuer adult CPR?

    Answer: 30:2

    Single-rescuer adult CPR uses a 30:2 ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths per cycle.

  2. Before delivering an AED shock, which step is MOST critical?

    Answer: Ensure all rescuers and bystanders are clear of the victim

    Everyone must stand clear before an AED shock is delivered to prevent electric injury to rescuers.

  3. What is the correct chest compression depth for an adult during CPR?

    Answer: 2 to 2.4 inches

    Adult chest compressions should be at least 2 inches but no more than 2.4 inches to effectively pump blood.

  4. Which technique is used for chest compressions during infant CPR?

    Answer: Two fingers or two thumb-encircling hands

    Infant CPR uses two fingers or the two thumb-encircling technique to avoid applying excessive force to the small chest.

  5. What is the recommended rate of chest compressions during CPR for all age groups?

    Answer: 100 to 120 per minute

    Current guidelines recommend a compression rate of 100 to 120 per minute for effective perfusion.

  6. Immediately after an AED delivers a shock, what should the rescuer do?

    Answer: Resume CPR beginning with chest compressions

    After a shock, CPR must resume immediately starting with compressions without pausing to check for a pulse.

  7. In two-rescuer CPR for a child aged 1 to 8 years, what is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio?

    Answer: 15:2

    Two-rescuer child CPR uses a 15:2 ratio, allowing more frequent ventilations than single-rescuer adult CPR.
