test question 8 of 20
you find that the victim is not responsive, not breathing normally, and youve called 911. what is your next treatment?
a begin rescue breathing and then check for a pulse after two minutes
b begin abdominal thrusts to clear the airway. then check for a pulse
c begin chest compressions at a rate of 100 - 120 per minute and give 2 rescue breaths after every 30 compressions
d give rescue breaths at a rate of 1 every 5 seconds until the victim begins to respond

Explanation:

In CPR, when a victim is unresponsive and not breathing normally (and 911 is called), the correct next step is to start chest compressions at 100 - 120 per minute with 2 rescue breaths after every 30 compressions (this follows the CAB - Compressions, Airway, Breathing - approach for adult CPR). Option A is incorrect as checking pulse after 2 minutes of rescue breathing is not standard. Option B is for choking (foreign body airway obstruction), not unresponsive and not breathing. Option D's rescue breath rate is incorrect for this scenario.

Answer:

C. Begin chest compressions at a rate of 100 - 120 per minute and give 2 rescue breaths after every 30 compressions
