  1. What does the 'C' stand for in the CAB sequence of CPR?

    Answer: Compressions

    CAB stands for Compressions, Airway, Breathing, prioritizing compressions first.

  2. When giving rescue breaths, how long should each breath last?

    Answer: About 1 second

    Each rescue breath should last about 1 second and produce visible chest rise.

  3. What is a sign that a rescue breath was effective?

    Answer: The chest visibly rises

    Visible chest rise indicates the breath reached the lungs.

  4. What technique opens the airway in a victim with no suspected neck injury?

    Answer: Head-tilt, chin-lift

    The head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver opens the airway when no spinal injury is suspected.

  5. When should rescuers switch roles during two-person CPR?

    Answer: About every 2 minutes (5 cycles)

    Switching compressors about every 2 minutes prevents fatigue and keeps compressions effective.

  6. What is agonal breathing?

    Answer: Occasional gasping that is not normal breathing

    Agonal gasps are not effective breathing and require CPR.

  7. If you are untrained or unwilling to give breaths, what should you do?

    Answer: Perform hands-only (compression-only) CPR

    Hands-only CPR with continuous compressions is recommended for untrained bystanders.
