Healthcare BLS & AED Test Healthcare BLS & AED Test Start Testpress Enter Full Name (will appear on your certificate) * Your Email * Which symptom is not consistent with cardiac-related chest pain? * Squeezing or heavy chest pain Drooping face when smiling Left or right arm pain Jaw pain As a rescuer, what signs or symptoms would tell us that a victim requires rescue breathing? * The patient is blue, not breathing normally, and does not have a palpable pulse The patient is not breathing normally and has a carotid pulse The patient is awake, moving, and breathing with difficulty The patient is blue and does not have a carotid pulse When delivering rescue breaths to an infant by mask, what is the most important aspect regarding the use of a rescue mask? * The mask should be the correct size if possible and fit over only the mouth of the infant The mask should be the correct size, if possible, and cover the nose alone The mask should be the correct size, but if that's not possible, it should make a good seal over the mouth and nose The mask should be made out of silicone only and be made by a well known manufacturer What is the proper procedure for delivering rescue breaths to an 8-year-old child? * Head tilt chin lift, cover the mouth and nose with a rescue mask, and deliver 1 rescue breath every 2-3 seconds for two minutes and re-assess for a pulse Head tilt chin lift, cover the mouth and nose with a rescue mask, and deliver 2 rescue breaths every 5 seconds for two minutes and then re-assess for a pulse Head tilt chin lift, cover the mouth and nose with a rescue mask, and deliver 1 rescue breath every 3 seconds for 5 minutes and then re-assess for a pulse Head tilt chin lift, cover the mouth and nose with a rescue mask, and deliver 1 rescue breath every 10 seconds for two minutes and then re-assess for a pulse What is the proper rate of CPR compressions for the adult cardiac arrest victim? * 90-100 compressions per minute 100-140 compressions per minute 100-120 compressions per minute Fewer than 100 but greater than 90 compressions per minute What effect does an opioid overdose have on the human body and why can it cause death? * Opioids are a central nervous system stimulant and can cause heart attacks Opioids are a central nervous system depressant and cause a person to stop breathing Opioids can cause a person to believe they are invincible and therefore can cause life-threatening injury Opioids can cause severe paranoia and therefore can cause one to take their own life After calling 911 and beginning CPR compressions, which of these describes the correct posture for delivering effective compressions? * Sitting with your arms at a 45-degree angle and your hands on the upper half of the patient's sternum Standing over the patient with your hands on the upper third of the sternum Position yourself over the patient with your hands covering the xiphoid process of the patient's sternum Position yourself over the patient with your arms at a 90-degree angle, hands placed on the lower third of the sternum between the breasts What is the appropriate ratio of compressions to rescue breaths in 1-rescuer CPR for the 9-year-old child? * 15 compressions to 2 rescue breaths 30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths 15 compressions to 1 rescue breath 30 compressions to 1 rescue breath What is the purpose for using the jaw thrust maneuver for delivering rescue breaths vs the head-tilt/chin-lift method? * It delivers more air per breath It moves the tongue out of the back of the throat better than a head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver It works better for a single rescuer while performing CPR compressions It minimizes movement of the cervical spine Choose the most correct statement about using a bag valve mask. * Push the mask down firmly on the face of the patient to get a good seal A bag valve mask should not be used without oxygen attached A bag valve mask gives a much better breath than mouth to mask Use the C-E method to draw the chin up into the mask to get a good seal 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. While performing a Healthcare Provider Adult CPR skill evaluation, the scene is safe and the victim is assessed and found to be unresponsive and not breathing normally. What is the next step? * Open the airway and look, listen, feel for breathing Call 911 Give 2 breaths Check for a pulse After the first AED shock has been delivered, what should you do next? * Open the mouth and check the airway Give 30 chest compressions Give 2 breaths Deliver a second shock When performing 2 rescuer CPR on an adult victim, how often should a switch take place? * Every minute After every 10 cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths Every 5 minutes After 5 cycles or about 2 minutes of CPR When should CPR compressions begin for a neonatal patient? * Heart rate slower than 100 Heart rate slower than 120 Heart rate slower than 60 Heart rate slower than 80 What is the best placement for AED pads on an 11-month-old child? * Upper right chest and lower left midaxillary Upper right chest and lower right midaxillary Center of chest and center of back between the shoulder blades Upper right arm and lower left leg A patient appears to have a decreased blood pressure, an increased heart rate, and their skin is pale, cool, and maybe even slightly sweaty. What is the most likely cause of these symptoms? * Respiratory distress Anxiety attack Response to fear because of bad news Shock What is the primary role of the team leader when multiple rescuers are performing CPR on a patient? * The team leader is the only one who should perform compressions The team leader ensures quality CPR is done and encourages other rescuers to make corrections as needed The team leader stays at the head, maintains an open airway, and gives breaths for the entire response The team leader attaches the AED, tells everyone to stand clear, and pushes the shock button You have been performing chest compressions for about 2 minutes with another healthcare provider delivering the breaths. An AED is in use and has indicated that a shock is needed. You deliver the shock. What happens next? * Immediately resume chest compressions The second rescuer should check for a pulse Open the airway and give 2 breaths The second rescuer should start compressions immediately How many compressions and breaths should be given when performing 2-rescuer CPR on an 8-year-old child? * 30 compressions and 1 breath 15 compressions and 2 breaths 30 compressions and 2 breaths 15 compressions and 1 breath Choose the correct location and hand placement to perform abdominal thrusts on a choking child. * Place the heel of one hand just above the navel (belly button) Place the thumb side of the fist just below the navel (belly button) Place the thumb side of the fist just above the navel (belly button) but below the ribs Place the palm side of the hand just above the navel (belly button) but below the ribs While conducting a Healthcare Provider adult unconscious choking skill evaluation, the rescuer removes the object and is able to give two breaths. Which statement is correct for next step? * The rescuer should check for a pulse to determine what to do next The rescuer should begin CPR immediately The rescuer should give two more breaths The rescuer should look, listen, and feel for breathing for ten seconds You just finished giving 30 chest compressions on an unconscious choking adult. What should you do next? * Give 2 breaths Give another 30 compressions Open the airway and check for an object Do a finger sweep You see an infant on the floor next to several plastic beads. The infant is not making any noise, but is conscious and gagging. What should you do? * Give chest compressions Give two breaths Wait 30 seconds to make sure the infant is choking Give 5 back slaps followed by 5 chest thrusts After you give 30 chest compressions, you check the mouth for an object and try to give a breath to an unconscious choking infant, but the air will not go in. What should you do next? * Reposition the airway and try another breath Give 30 chest compressions Check again for an object Give 5 back slaps Submit If you are human, leave this field blank.
