Question

the passing percentage is 80%. if you are not successful, you will be asked to review and retest. question 1: which of the following is not the same in cpr for adults and cpr for babies? a) the number of compressions per cycle b) the number of breaths per cycle c) the rate of compressions (compressions per minute) d) the depth of compressions question 2: which of the following is a reason to stop performing cpr once you have started? a) you have completed 10 cycles (approximately 4 minutes) of cpr and the person shows no improvement b) you are able to switch to using an aed instead c) ems personnel take over d) you realize that the person has a pacemaker question 3: in which of the following situations should you use an aed in addition to performing cpr? a) a person goes into cardiac arrest as a result of a traumatic injury b) a six - month - old baby goes into cardiac arrest c) a person with a pacemaker goes into cardiac arrest d) all of the above

Explanation:

• Question 1: In CPR, for adults and babies, the depth of compressions is different. Adults require a deeper compression depth compared to babies to effectively circulate blood. The number of compressions per cycle (usually 30), number of breaths per cycle (usually 2), and rate of compressions (at least 100 - 120 per minute) can be similar in basic principles.
• Question 2: One of the main reasons to stop CPR is when EMS personnel take over as they are trained professionals who can continue more advanced life - saving measures. Completing a certain number of cycles without improvement is not a reason to stop, switching to AED is not a reason to stop CPR completely as CPR should continue as per AED instructions, and having a pacemaker is not a reason to stop CPR.
• Question 3: An AED can be used in cases of cardiac arrest regardless of the cause such as traumatic injury, in babies (with appropriate pediatric pads if available), and in people with pacemakers.

Answer:

• Question 1: d) The depth of compressions
• Question 2: c) EMS personnel take over
• Question 3: d) All of the above
