question 2 of 20

performed chest compressions for 30 seconds. what is the next step in cpr?

a. begin rescue breaths.

b. go get help.

c. try to find a pulse.

d. call 911.

Explanation:

In CPR for a non - responsive child when alone, after 30 seconds of chest compressions, the next step is to call 911. The standard CPR protocol for a single rescuer with a non - responsive child involves performing 30 chest compressions and then calling 911 (or the local emergency number) as the next step. Option A is incorrect as rescue breaths come after ensuring the call for help is made or in a different sequence. Option B is not the immediate next step as one should call for help (like 911) rather than leaving to get help which may waste time. Option C is not the next step after 30 seconds of chest compressions.

Answer:

D. Call 911.
