Answer 13

Recovery Position

Question 14

Under Situational Awareness, there are 2 safety that we need to assess. What are these?

Answer 14

1. Scene Safety
2. Personal Safety

Question 15

In Scene Safety under Situational Awareness,

The risk of the Rescuer and Victim is how many percent?

Note: There are 2 answers.

Answer 15

80% Rescuer - 20% Victim

Question 16

In Personal Safety under Situational Awareness,

What does these words stand for?
B.S.I.
P.P.E.

Answer 16

• B.S.I. - Body Substance Isolation
• P.P.E. - Personal Protective Equipment (goggles, face mask, surgical gloves, etc.)

Question 17

IN CPR: Under General Impression what are the step by step?

Answer 17

a. Determine if the person is an Adult, Child, or Infant.

b. Tap the shoulders ~ Hey! Hey! Hey! Are you ok? (3x)

c. Unresponsive? (seek help from bystanders) “Activate EMS and get back to me in case I will be needing your help”

d. Check for pulse / rise and fall of the chest

e. Proceed immediately to CPR ~ CAB

Question 18

What does EMS stand for?

Answer 18

Emergency Medical Services

Question 19

Before performing CPR, make sure to know/do these things. What are these?

Answer 19

1. How to locate ~ You need to know where to put your hands.
2. Correct hand position ~ Make sure to do correct placement of hands.
3. Correct body position ~ Make sure to align your body and posture in doing CPR

Question 20

What are the steps on how to locate the right place to do CPR?

Answer 20

• 2 fingers above the xiphoid process.
• Between the jugular notch and the xiphoid process.

Question 21

What are the correct hand position in doing CPR?

Answer 21

• Heel of the dominant hand must be on the center line of the sternum.
• The non-dominant hand must overlap the dominant hand.
• Both elbow should be locked.

Question 22

What are the correct body position in doing CPR?

Answer 22

• Align your body after Correct Hand Position has been established.
• Stay as close as possible to the patient.
• Position yourself directly over the patient.

NOTE: Make sure the Victim is in a Stable/Rigid Surface.

Question 23

What are the Two commonly known versions of CPR?

Answer 23

1. Conventional CPR using chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth breathing
2. Hands-Only CPR (compression-only CPR)

Question 24

This is done at a ratio of 30:2 compressions-to-breaths. In adult victims of cardiac arrest, it is reasonable for rescuers to perform chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120/min and to a depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm) for an average adult, while avoiding excessive chest compression depths (greater than 2.4 inches [6 cm]).

Answer 24

Conventional CPR using chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth breathing

Question 25

**For the general public or bystanders** who witness an adult suddenly collapse: It is a **CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths**. It is recommended for use by people who see a teen or adult suddenly collapse in an out-of-hospital setting (such as at home, at work, or in a park).

Answer 25

**Hands-Only CPR (compression-only CPR)**

Question 26

Hands-Only CPR consists of two easy steps. What are these?

Answer 26

1. **Call 9-1-1** (or send someone to do that) 2. **Push hard and fast in the center of the chest**

Question 27

**High-quality CPR** should be performed by anyone including bystanders. It has **five critical components**. What are these?

Answer 27

1. Minimize interruptions in chest compressions. 2. Provide compressions of adequate rate and depth. 3. Avoid leaning on the victim between compressions. 4. Ensure proper hand placement. 5. Avoid excessive ventilation

Answer 28

* Adult = **60 to 100** * Children = **70 to 150** * Infant = **100 to 160**

Question 29

What are the **Respiratory Rate (breaths/min)** of the ff? * Adult * Children * Infant

Answer 29

* Adult = **12 to 20** * Children = **15 to 30** * Infant = **25 to 50**

Question 30

What are the **Depth of Compression** of the ff? * Adult * Children * Infant

Question 32

What is the **Ratio (Compression: Rescue Breathing)** and **Number of Cycle/s** of the ff? * Adult * Children * Infant
