1. What are the vital characteristics of first-rate CPR?Starting chest compressions within 10 seconds of recognition of cardiac arrestMinimizing interruptionsPushing hard and fastAll of the above2. What should you do if the individual chest is wet when using an AED?Quickly wipe it dry before proceeding with AED use.Do not use an AED device.Proceed with AED use as usual.Rub isopropyl alcohol on the individual skin before proceeding with AED use.3. Why are breaths so important for children and infants in cardiac arrest?Because they often have respiratory failure that reduces the oxygen content in the blood before the onset of arrest.Because breaths help to dislodge foreign bodies.Because they have smaller lungs.None of the above4. In both children and infants, the compression to ventilation ratio for two-rescuer CPR is:15:230:130:215:15. When looking for a pulse on a child from one year to puberty, where should you check?Popliteal arteryCarotid or femoral arteryBrachial arteryTemporal artery
