Question

recommended rate of chest compressions for any victim of cardiac arrest is: ∘ at least 120/min ∘ at least 100/min ∘ between 100 and 120/min ∘ rate of compressions is not important question 32 (mandatory) (2.857 points) \in order to allow for full chest recoil between compressions, the rescuer should do what?\ ∘ remove hands from the victim’s chest ∘ lean heavily on the victim’s chest ∘ perform compressions only on a bed or other soft surface ∘ avoid leaning on the patient’s chest

Explanation:

First Question (Cardiac Arrest Chest Compression Rate)

Step1: Recall CPR guidelines

The recommended rate of chest compressions for a cardiac arrest victim is between 100 and 120 compressions per minute.

Step2: Evaluate options

• "At least 120/min" is incorrect as the upper limit is also 120.
• "At least 100/min" is not the precise range.
• "between 100 and 120/min" matches the guideline.
• "Rate of compressions is not important" is wrong as rate is crucial.

To allow full chest recoil between compressions, the rescuer should remove their hands from the victim’s chest (or at least allow the chest to fully expand back). Leaning heavily, using soft surfaces, or avoiding leaning (in a wrong way) don't relate to recoil. Removing hands (or allowing full recoil by not impeding it) is key. So the correct option is "Remove hands from the victim’s chest".

Answer:

between 100 and 120/min
