Which of the following action should you take?

Check for normal breathing then check for a pulse (in 10 seconds or less), activate the call system for help

Remove the other patient from the room, then return and begin your assessment

Begin CPR immediately, beginning with 2 ventilations

There are no signs of breathing and you are unsure if you feel a pulse. You have called for help. Your next step is to:

Place a CPR board under the patient and begin compressions at a rate of 100–120/min.

Place a CPR board under the patient and begin compressions at a rate of 80/min.

Stand outside of the room so that you can direct the cardiac arrest team to the correct patient.

Begin CPR by ventilating the patient with 4 quick breaths.

The part of the compression that allows blood to feed the heart (coronary perfusion pressure) and the ventricles to fill is

Allowing the chest wall to recoil between each compression.

The forceful push on the chest wall.

Maintaining a rate greater than 150.

Compressions do not affect blood flow to the heart.

You should only do compressions for how long before you switch with someone else?

You should do them until you can’t do them any longer

You are not sure if you are ventilating the patient adequately. You can tell that a ventilation is successful by seeing

The chest rise with each ventilation.

The bag valve mask re-inflating after each squeeze.
