Ensure the scene is safe; if it is, tap the person's shoulder and ask if they are ok. You find that the victim is not responsive, not breathing normally, and you've called 911. What is your next treatment? * Begin rescue breathing and then check for a pulse after two minutes. Begin abdominal thrusts to clear the airway. Then check for a pulse. Begin chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute and give 2 rescue breaths after every 30 compressions. Give rescue breaths at a rate of 1 every 5 seconds until the victim begins to respond. What's the primary difference between compressions on an adult vs. a small child? * The child's chest wall is more easily compressed, so we shouldn't push as deep. We should use two hands on a small child and one hand on an adult. We may use one hand instead of two in order to compress the small child's chest. We should use three fingers for chest compressions on a child and five fingers on an adult. You find an infant in a safe environment who is not moving and not breathing normally.

Which of these best describes the purpose for "hands-only" CPR? * Hands-only CPR is better and more effective than full CPR and is now the best way to provide CPR for any patient by any responder. Hands-only CPR reduces risk of liability and increases oxygenation better than CPR with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Hands-only CPR is now the only method for providing CPR regardless your level of education and expertise. Hands-only CPR was designed for those who are not trained or feel uncomfortable delivering mouth-to-mouth breaths. It doesn't replace traditional CPR.

What is the most effective way to stop an arterial bleed when there is no object still in the wound? * Tie a tourniquet at least 5 inches above the laceration in order to ensure control of bleeding. Raise the limb above the heart and walk the victim to the car. Use pressure points above and below the injury. Apply direct pressure on the laceration with a gloved hand or clean/sterile dressing. Why is shock so dangerous? * Shock can make a person dangerously cold and could cause frostbite. Shock makes it difficult for a person to breathe and therefore could cause anaphylactic shock. Shock will eventually cause the person to lose their breathing and pulse if not treated. Shock can cause a person to get extremely confused simply appear drunk.
