Study Notes
Professional Health Care (Clinical Skills)
Airway Obstruction
- The most common cause of airway obstruction in an unconscious patient is the loss of tone in the submandibular muscles, resulting in the prolapse of the tongue into the posterior pharynx.
Choking Response
- If a choking adult victim becomes unconscious, the next step is to immediately start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Respiratory Devices
- The specified device cannot be used in semiconscious patients.
Patient Response
- After confirming that the patient is unresponsive, the next step is to confirm cardiac arrest by looking, listening, and feeling.
Basic Life Support (BLS)
- BLS means a process to restore circulation and ventilation.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
- The rate of chest compressions during CPR is 100-120 per minute.
- The depth of compression during CPR is 5-6 cm.
- CPR operators should be changed every 2 minutes.
Blood Pressure Measurement
- A sphygmomanometer is used to measure blood pressure.
Medication Administration
- Insulin and certain hormone medications, such as testosterone, are administered via intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous, or intradermal routes.

- Systolic blood pressure occurs during ventricular contraction.
Temperature Measurement
- Rectal temperature is [insert value] higher than oral temperature.
