1 Name: Date: Pd. CPR Questionnaire 1. What does CPR stand for? 2. What does the ABCD of CPR stand for? A - B - C - D 3. Chest compressions are an important part of CPR because they keep flowing to the, and other. 4. Put the following steps to perform chest compressions on an adult in order: At the end of each compression, make sure you allow the chest to recoil or re-expand completely. Full chest recoil allows more to refill the between chest compressions. Incomplete chest recoil will reduce the flow created by chest compressions. Make sure the victim is lying on his back on a firm, flat surface. If the victim is lying facedown, carefully roll him onto his back. Put the heel of your other hand on top of the first hand. Deliver compressions in a smooth fashion at a rate of 100 compressions per minute. Position yourself at the victim s side. Push hard and fast. Press down to inches with each compression. For each chest compression make sure you push straight down on the victim s breastbone. Move or remove all clothing covering the victim s chest. You need to be able to see the skin. Straighten your arms and position your shoulders directly over your hands. Put the heel of one hand on the center of the victim s bare chest between the nipples.

2 5. The correct rate for giving compressions is compressions a minute. 6. The correct compression-ventilation ratio for an adult is compressions and breaths. 7. Rescuers should try to minimize interruptions to less than seconds. 8. Why should rescuers allow the chest to recoil completely after each compression? 9. Put the following steps to perform a head tilt-chin lift in order: Lift the jaw to bring the chin forward Place one hand on the victim s forehead and push with your palm to tilt the head back Place the fingers of the other hand under the bony part of the lower jaw near the chin 10. All of the following should be avoided when performing a head tilt-chin lift except: Do not press deeply into the soft tissue under the chin because this might obstruct the airway b.) Do not use the thumb to lift the chin Do not close the victim s mouth completely (unless mouth-to-nose breathing is the technique of choice for the victim) Place one hand on the victim s forehead and push with your palm to tilt the head back 11. What may happen when you give breaths too quickly or with too much force? 12. List four of the causes that could affect the timing of providing chest compressions? b.) 13. What does compression rate mean?

3 14. Depth of compressions on an adult rescue should be inches to inches deep, while on children Age 1 to Puberty you need to make sure to compress the chest to the depth of the chest. 15. The correct compression-ventilation ratio for 2-rescuer CPR for an adult is compressions and breaths. 16. The correct compression-ventilation ratio for 2-rescuer CPR for a child is compressions and breaths. 17. Why should you avoid delivering too many breaths per minute (hyperventilation)? 18. Rescuers can tire quickly when giving chest compressions, this is called. 19. When 2 or more rescuers are available, how often should the compressor role be switched and why? 20. What does AED stand for? 21. What are AED s? 22. List four reasons that early defibrillation is crucial for victims of sudden cardiac arrest: b.

4 23. List 5 special situations that may require the AED operator to take additional actions when using an AED. b.) e.) 24. If a victim is 1 year old or less currently there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of. 25. Are you able to leave an AED attached to the victim while transporting the victim on a stretcher or an ambulance? 26. True or False: You can use adult AED pads on a child if child pads are not available. 27. Which of the following best describes clearing the victim? Taking the pads off the victim s chest b.) Making sure no one is touching the victim Moving the victim to a clear room 28. Approximately how much oxygen and carbon dioxide is exhaled from the rescuer when giving mouth to mouth breathing? 29. Do you begin chest compressions if you check for pulse and you have a definite pulse? Explain 30. What do you do if you are not sure the victim has a pulse? Do you start the steps of CPR or you do not do CPR?

5 31. Define the following terms: Heart Attack b.) Stroke Cardiac Arrest 32. State 4 red flags or signs of heart attack 33. What are the 4 links in the adult chain of survival? 34. True or False: A choking victim always will be able to cough forcefully. 35. If a chocking victim is much shorter than you, what can you do to better give abdominal thrusts? Put the victim on his back b.) Kneel behind the victim A and B 36. The correct rate for giving compressions to an infant is compressions a minute. 37. The correct compression-ventilation ratio for 1 rescuer infant CPR is compressions and breaths. 38. The correct compression-ventilation ratio for 2 rescuer infant CPR is compressions and breaths. 39. For a responsive choking infant, use and to try to remove the airway obstruction.
