Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. American Heart Association CPR guidelines were amended in 2005. The new changes focus more on high quality compressions instead of rescue breathing.

Answer: True

In 2005 the American Heart Association changed the compression to ventilation ratio in CPR from 15:2 to 30:2. Research has demonstrated that high quality compressions, for longer period of time, have led to better outcomes.
2. What does the "A" stand for in the ABC's of CPR?

Answer: Airway

Remember the ABC's of Airway, Breathing and Circulation can save a person's life. Airway means open the person's airway using the head chin lift maneuver. This maneuver lifts the tongue from the airway and relieves any possible airway obstruction.
3. You are out shopping at the mall with your 73 year old neighbor when she suddenly collapses. You should direct someone to bring the AED (automated external defibrillator) immediately, in case it is needed.

Answer: True

According to the American Heart Association, studies demonstrate early defibrillation with an AED (automated external defibrillator) for an adult suffering from a cardiac arrest greatly increases survival chances.
4. Most cardiac arrests in children are a result of respiratory arrest.

Answer: True

Children in cardiac arrest often are in respiratory arrest first which then leads to cardiac arrest. Prevention of respiratory arrest is the key to prevent childhood cardiac arrest. This includes drowning and choking.
5. The first thing you should do when the AED (automated external defibrillator) arrives is check the batteries.

Answer: False

Manufactures make AED's (automated external defibrillators) very simple to use and once the AED (automated external defibrillator) is powered on, the commands will walk you right through the steps necessary for a successful rescue attempt. This is why the most important first step once the AED (automated external defibrillator) arrives is to TURN IT ON.
6. When you are checking to see if an unresponsive victim is breathing you should look, listen and feel. You are looking for the rise and fall of the victim's chest, listening for breathing and feeling for the victim's breath on your cheek.

Answer: True

When you look, listen and feel, remember to position yourself so you can see the victim's chest and place your cheek close to the victim's mouth to feel any breaths.
7. In an unresponsive adult which site is recommended for checking for a pulse?

Answer: carotid artery

Always check the carotid pulse on the side closest to you. Do not use your thumb as your own thumb has a pulse as well, and you could mistake this for the victim's pulse. The carotid pulse gives the best feedback for left ventricular function.
8. What is the rationale for limiting a pulse check to ten seconds?

Answer: To minimize interruption of blood flow to vital organs

Do not take more than ten seconds to check the pulse. Effective, high quality, uninterrupted compressions lead to a better chance of survival. Taking longer than ten seconds leads to unnecessary delays.
9. What does DNR stand for?

Answer: Do not resuscitate

Many people today have advanced directives which often include a Do Not Resuscitate wishes. It is important to communicate your wishes to family and friends. If you attempt to resuscitate someone with an advanced directive you are often protected from legal ramifications in many states.
10. What is the name of the position you should place the victim in, once the pulse and respirations return?

Answer: recovery position

The recovery position prevents aspiration should the victim start vomiting. It also lets you continue to check the victim while you await the arrival of paramedics.
