Test Flashcards
Checking an Injured or Ill person first step
- CHECK the scene for safety, form an initial impression, obtain
consent and use PPE.
Checking an Injured or Ill person second step
- If the person appears
unresponsive, CHECK for
responsiveness, breathing, life-
threatening bleeding or other
life-threatening conditions using
shout-tap-shout.
What Is the note for the second step (For caring for injury)
Check is no more than 10 seconds
What is the 3a step for checking an ill person
If the person does not respond, responds but is not fully
awake, is not breathing or is only gasping, or has life-
threatening bleeding or another obvious life-threatening
condition, CALL 9-1-1 and get equipment, or tell someone
to do so. Then, give CARE based on the condition found
and your level of training and continue your check to
determine if additional care is needed.
What is the note on 3a
Note: For a person who is unresponsive and not breathing, start
CPR and use an AED immediately.
What is step 3b (this is the case if they are responsive)
Interview the person (or
bystanders, if necessary),
ask questions about signs
and symptoms, allergies,
and medications and
medical conditions (SAM).
Do a focused check based on what
the person told you, how the person
is acting and what you see.
What does SAM Stand for
Symptoms, Allergies, and Medication
What is the two notes on 3b
Note: Do not ask the person
to move if you suspect a head,
neck or spinal injury. Do not
ask the person to move any
area of the body that causes
discomfort or pain.
Note: As you check the person, take
note of any medical identification tags.
What is step 4 if they are responsive (ask Mrs.thomas)
- After completing the CHECK step,
CALL 9-1-1 and get equipment, or tell
someone to do so (if needed). Then, give
CARE based on the condition found and
your level of training.
Giving CPR Step 1(Check)
check the scene for safety
Giving CPR Step two( check)
- If the person appears unresponsive, CHECK for
responsiveness, breathing, life-threatening bleeding or other
life-threatening conditions using shout-tap-shout.
Giving CPR Step three (call)
- If the person does not respond and
is not breathing or only gasping,
CALL 9-1-1 and get equipment, or
tell someone to do so.
Giving CPR step 4 (care)
- Place the person on their back on a firm, flat surface.
Giving CPR step 5 (care)
- Give 30 chest compressions.
■ Hand position: Two hands
centered on the chest
■ Body position: Shoulders directly
over hands; elbows locked
■ Depth: At least 2 inches
■ Rate: 100 to 120 per minute
■ Allow chest to return to normal
position after each
compression
Giving CPR step 6 (care)
- Give 2 breaths.
■ Open the airway to a past-
neutral position using the
head-tilt/chin-lift technique.
■ Ensure each breath lasts
about 1 second and makes
the chest rise; allow air to
exit before giving the next
breath.
Note on Step 6
Note: If the 1st breath does not cause the chest to rise, retilt the
head and ensure a proper seal before giving the 2nd breath. If
the 2nd breath does not make the chest rise, an object may be
blocking the airway.
Giving CPR Step 7
Continue giving sets of 30 chest
compressions and 2 breaths. Use an
AED as soon as one is available!
