First Aid - Exam questions

The first step in the chain of survival, involving recognizing a potential emergency and promptly seeking professional help.

The second step in the chain of survival, involving performing chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain circulation.

The third step in the chain of survival, involving using a defibrillator to shock the heart back into rhythm.

The process of assessing the victim's safety and consciousness before providing any medical aid.

The process of verifying if the victim is breathing normally after checking consciousness.

The initial steps involved in performing CPR on an adult victim.

The number of chest compressions performed in the first round of CPR for an adult victim.

The number of rescue breaths given after the initial round of chest compressions during CPR.

The location where you should place your hands for chest compressions on an adult victim.

The recommended depth of chest compressions for an adult victim.

The recommended frequency of chest compressions for an adult victim.

The time allowed for chest compression relaxation between compressions.

The ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths during CPR.

The intervals during BLS procedures when you should assess the patient's condition.

The importance of monitoring the patient's response to BLS interventions.

The process of applying AED electrodes to the patient's chest.

The ability to recognize potential emergencies, take action quickly, and use skills appropriately to save lives.

The act of delivering rescue breaths to a victim during CPR.

The device used to deliver a controlled electrical shock to the heart in order to restore a normal rhythm.

The series of actions that, if performed quickly and correctly, dramatically increases the chances of survival after a cardiac arrest.

During rescue breaths, you should pinch the injured person's nose and cover their mouth tightly with your mouth, ensuring a tight seal.

If the first rescue breath doesn't cause the chest to rise, check if the head tilt and chin lift are performed correctly before attempting to remove airway obstructions.

AED electrodes should be placed one under the left collarbone along the sternum, the other above the tip of the victim's heart.

CPR in adults starts with rescue breaths in cases of cardiac arrest caused by trauma.

Place an unconscious but breathing person in the recovery position to prevent choking on vomit and ensure airway clearance.

If the patient shows symptoms of slight airway obstruction, encourage them to cough first.

An AED includes a heart rhythm analysis module, paddles for defibrillation, a memory recording the event, and voice commands to guide the user.

AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator.

A rescue breath should be delivered for about 1 second with a tight seal around the mouth, but not forceful enough to cause the stomach to inflate.

If foreign bodies are visible, they should be removed only from the mouth and throat to ensure a clear airway for ventilation.

Excessive ventilation attempts can lead to lung damage, so limit each attempt to two ventilations.

The chest should rise during each effective rescue breath.

Opening the airway with a head tilt and chin lift is crucial before beginning rescue breaths.

The AED electrodes should be placed in specific locations for accurate defibrillation.

CPR in adults, for cases other than trauma, starts with chest compressions.

The recovery position helps maintain an open airway and prevents aspiration for an unconscious but breathing person.

The AED's heart rhythm analysis module determines if defibrillation is necessary.

The memory function in an AED records the entire event, providing valuable information for medical professionals.

Voice commands guide the user through each step of using an AED, making it easy to operate even in stressful situations.

The chain of survival is a series of steps that can significantly increase chances of survival after cardiac arrest.

Immediate initiation of CPR helps maintain blood flow and increases the chances of survival until professional help arrives.

Ensure the injured person's airway is free and clear.

Cover the injured person's mouth tightly with your mouth, ensuring a tight seal to deliver effective breaths.

Blow air into the injured person's mouth for about 1 second, but not so forcefully that it causes the stomach to expand.

Observe whether the chest rises during inhalation, indicating effective rescue breaths.

Check whether the head tilt and chin lift are performed correctly to ensure the airway is open before proceeding with rescue breaths.

Blindly sweeping the airway is not recommended. Only remove visible foreign bodies in the mouth and throat to avoid pushing them further down.

Remove only visible foreign bodies from the mouth and throat to ensure an open airway for ventilation.

Perform no more than two ventilation attempts each time to avoid lung damage.

One electrode should be placed under the left collarbone along the sternum, the other above the tip of the victim's heart. This ensures accurate detection of heart rhythms.

CPR in adults starts with rescue breaths in the case of cardiac arrest caused by trauma. This is because the heart may be in a rhythm that can be corrected by defibrillation.

CPR in adults starts with chest compressions in the case of cardiac arrest due to poisoning, drowning, or pregnancy. This approach is more effective in these situations.

Place an unconscious but breathing person in the recovery position to prevent choking on vomit and ensure airway clearance.

Encourage the injured person to cough, as this may help dislodge the object causing the airway obstruction.

Encourage the injured person to cough as this may help dislodge the object causing the airway obstruction. Do not perform any other interventions unless the airway completely closes.

The AED consists of a heart rhythm analysis module, paddles used for defibrillation, a memory recording the course of the event, and voice commands that guide the user through the process.

AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator.

The chest should fall during exhalation and rise during inhalation, indicating effective rescue breaths.

If the first rescue breath doesn't cause the chest to rise, double-check that the airway is open with proper head tilt and chin lift before attempting to remove any foreign bodies.

AED electrodes should be placed one under the left collarbone along the sternum and the other above the tip of the victim's heart.

CPR in adults starts with rescue breaths in the case of cardiac arrest caused by trauma, as this might allow defibrillation to be more effective.

The recovery position helps maintain an open airway and prevents aspiration for an unconscious but breathing person by keeping the airway open and preventing choking.

If the patient shows symptoms of slight airway obstruction, encourage them to cough first as this may dislodge the object.

An AED includes a heart rhythm analysis module to detect abnormal rhythms, paddles used to deliver defibrillation shocks, a memory function to record the event, and voice commands to guide the user.

AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator, a portable device used to shock the heart back into a normal rhythm.
