EMR CPR test review

while you are performing CPR on an adult, second trained responder arrives with the AED. What do you do?

Keep doing CPR

1st link- early recognition and early EMS

2nd- early CPR

3rd- early AED

4th- a degree in medicine?

Prevention NOT CORRECT?

To ensure high quality CPR for an adult, which is the MOST appropriate?

a. ventilate the patient once every 15 compressions

b. provide 4 minutes of CPR

c. check for breathing and a pulse every 2 minutes

d. minimize interruptions of chest compressions to less than 10 seconds

d. minimize interruptions of chest compressions to less than 10 seconds

C is correct but D is more important

While accessing an unresponsive adult who's been pulled from the water, you find the patient has no definitive pulse and occasional gasps. patient has no severe bleeding. Which of the following should you do?

a. give 2 ventilations and begin CPR

b. provide abdominal thrusts

c. open airway and check for breathing

d. place in recovery position

a. give 2 ventilations and begin CPR

for children and infants, or no breathing emergencies, give 2 ventilations before CPR

If there's a risk of the AED pads touching each other such as with a small child or infant, you should what?

a. place one pad on the upper chest and one on the back

b. place one on the stomach one on chest

c. place them as usual doesn't matter if they touch

d. reverse position of pads on the chest

a. place on pad on the upper chest and one on the back

Your general impression reveals severe life threatening bleeding on a patient that appears unresponsive. What do you do?

a. immediately start chest compressions

b. leave patient to call 911 to get an AED and first aid kit

c. control the bleeding with any available resources

d. open airway and check for breathing and a pulse

c. control bleeding with any resources

normally we'd start CPR but they have severe LIFE THREATENING bleeding. if you start CPR first, you'd just pump the blood out. If you leave them to call 911, they're going to continue to bleed out.

** You're about to apply AED pads to a patients chest and you notice they have a IMPLANTABLE (pacemaker) cardioverter defibrillator. Which of the following would you do?

a. avoid placing the pads directly over the implantable device

b. Place them as you normally would

c. place one pad in the center of the chest, one in the middle of the back

d. theres no need to use an AED because of the implantable defibrillator

A. avoid placing the pads directly over the device

The cycles of chest compressions and ventilations in 2 person CPR for a 6 year old.

a. 15-1

b. 15-2

c. 30-1

d. 30-2

b. 15:2

30:2 for 1 responder, an adult w/ 1 and 2 responders

How should you place your hands when giving chest compressions to an infant during CPR with 2 trained responders?

a. 2 fingers on breastbone just below the nipple line

b. 2 fingers on breastbone at the nipple line

c. encircling thumb technique at nipple line

b. 2 fingers on breastbone below the nipple line

when giving ventilations to an adult patient in cardiac arrest with an advanced airway in place, ...

one every 6 seconds

When using an AED, pediatric pads may be used on an adult if adult pads are unavailable.

a. don't use pediatric pads on an adult because it doesn't deliver the correct current

b. adult pads may be used on an infant if pediatric pads are not available

c. never use adult pads on a child even if pediatric pads are not available

d. pediatric pads may only be used on a child older than 1 year of age

b. You can use adult pads on a child even if pediatric pads are unavailable.

adult pad on front and back of infant if you only have adult pads. He only said you can't use pediatric pads on an adult not vice versa

An adult choking patient becomes unresponsive after abdominal thrusts. lower them to the floor. What should your next step be?

a. open airway give 2 ventilations

b. open airway and look for obstruction

c. reassess patient for breathing and a pulse

d. start chest compressions

D. start chest compressions, still try to force it up. THEN look in mouth for object

Still blocked since they went unconscious. so don't give ventilations. probably nothing in mouth yet.

All of the following are components of a scene size up, except:

a. looking for hazardous situations

b. checking for responsiveness

c. gathering general impression of situation

d. calling for additional resources needed

b. checking for responsiveness

Primary assessment is when you check on the patient

Which is most appropriate compression rate for an 8 year old?

a. 124

b. 98

c. 132

d. 114

d. 114

for an adult: 100-120 bpm little faster for a child or infant

You're caring for a chid who is apneac, breathing without a pulse, another responder is doing compressions. theres no advanced airway in place. you ventilate how often?

a. 1 every 15 compressions

b. 2 every 30 compressions

c. 1 every 30 compressions

d. 2 every 15 compressions

d. 2 every 15 compressions

When possible, 2 responder ventilations with a bag valve mask resuscitator is preferred because

a. it prevents responder giving ventilations from being fatigued quickly

b. it allows responder to create and maintain a good seal

c. it allows to ventilate at a faster rate

d. allows higher ventilation volumes

b. it allows responder to create and maintain a good seal

a yes but not the reason

general impression of a patient is based on:

a. patients SAMPLE history

b. what you've been told about the patient

infant- about 1.5

Full chest recoil is necessary for a successful resuscitation as it:

a. allows the blood to flow back into the heart b/n compressions

b. it gives the lungs time to exchange CO2 and O2

c. it increases intrathoracic pressure and coronary blood flow

d. allows responder doing compressions to conserve energy

a. allows the blood to flow back into the heart between compressions
