Questions and Answers
In a two-rescuer CPR scenario, what is the MOST significant advantage compared to one-rescuer CPR regarding chest compressions?
In a two-rescuer CPR scenario, what is the MOST significant advantage compared to one-rescuer CPR regarding chest compressions?
- The ratio of compressions to breaths can be reduced to simplify the process.
- Rescuers can rotate compressor roles more frequently, preventing fatigue and maintaining compression quality. (correct)
- The depth of compressions can be shallower, minimizing the risk of injury.
- There is less emphasis on providing breaths, allowing for uninterrupted compressions.
When assessing a patient, what is the FIRST step a healthcare provider should typically perform?
When assessing a patient, what is the FIRST step a healthcare provider should typically perform?
- Taking the patient's blood pressure
- Starting chest compressions
- Checking for responsiveness (correct)
- Administering oxygen

What is the PRIMARY criterion used to determine if CPR should be initiated on a patient?
- Patient's skin color being pale
- Visible signs of bleeding
- Lack of pulse and breathing (correct)
- Presence of dilated pupils
