Why is it important to minimize interruptions during chest compressions?
Answer: To maintain blood flow to the brain and heart
Pauses cause blood flow to drop quickly, so compressions should stay continuous.
What is the first thing you should do when responding to a cardiac emergency alone?
Answer: Call 911 (or have someone call) and get an AED
Activating emergency services and getting an AED early greatly improves survival.
How should you treat a victim with a suspected spinal injury?
Answer: Keep them still and avoid moving the head or neck
Minimizing movement prevents further damage to the spinal cord.
What is hands-only CPR?
Answer: Continuous chest compressions without rescue breaths
Hands-only CPR uses continuous compressions and is recommended for untrained bystanders.
What should you do for a person showing signs of a stroke?
Answer: Use FAST to check and call 911 immediately
FAST (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) helps spot a stroke so you can call for help fast.
How can you reduce the risk of infection when giving rescue breaths?
Answer: Use a barrier device or face shield
A CPR barrier device or face shield reduces direct contact during rescue breaths.
What is the correct action if an AED says 'no shock advised' but the person is unresponsive?
Answer: Resume CPR immediately
If no shock is advised and the person is unresponsive, continue CPR right away.
