Ch. 14 Flashcards
Which of the following maneuvers should be used to open a patient’s airway when a spinal injury is suspected?
-Head tilt-neck lift
-Tongue-jaw lift
-Jaw-thrust
-Head tilt-chin lift
Jaw-thrust
A 6o-year-old man is found to be unresponsive, pulseless, apnea, You should:
-Withhold CPR until he is defibrillated
-Begin CPR until an AED is available
-Start CPR and transport immediately
-Determine if he has a valid living will
Begin CPR until an AED is available
CPR will NOT be effective if the patient is:
-Horizontal
-On a firm surface
-Prone
-Supine
Prone
Gastric distention will MOST likely occur:
-In patients who are intubated
-When the airway is completely obstructed
-If you ventilate a patient too quickly
-When you deliver minimal tidal volume
If you ventilate a patient too quickly
In most cases, cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children is caused by:
-Respiratory arrest
-A cardiac dysrhythmia
-A drug overdose
-Severe chest trauma
Respiratory arrest
In two-rescuer adult CPR, you should deliver a compression to ventilation ratio of:
-30:2
-5:2
-10:15
-15:2
30:2
Initial treatment to dislodge a severe foreign body airway obstruction in a responsive infant involves:
-Bag-mask ventilation
-Blind finger sweeps
-Back slaps
-Abdominal thrusts
Back slaps
To ensure that you will deliver the appropriate number of chest compressions during one rescuer adult CPR, you should compress the patient’s chest at a rate of:
-80 to 100 compressions per minute
-100 to 120 compressions per minute
-No greater than 100 compressions per minute
-At least 120 compressions per minute
100 to 120 compressions per minute
What is the correct ratio of compressions to ventilation when performing two-rescuers child CPR>
-3:1
-15:2
-30:2
-5:1
15:2
Which of the following is NOT a BLS intervention?
-Chest compressions
-Automated defibrillation
-Cardiac monitoring
-Abdominal thrusts
Cardiac monitoring
