The purpose of performing CPR on an animal is to:AGet the heart to start on its ownBDislodge something stuck in its airwayCPump oxygen through the bodyDGet the lungs to breathe again

CPR helps the casualty in one of the following ways:It restarts the heart and brings the person back to life.It provides necessary oxygen to the brain.It repairs damage to the cardiovascular system.All of the above.SUBMIT

One risk of performing CPR on a small animal is:ACausing irregular heart beatBCausing a lack of oxygen to the animal's brainCTriggering emotional traumaDBroken or bruised ribs or other bones

What will CPR do to help a person in cardiac arrest?increase action potential in the hearttemporarily supply body with oxygen until help arrivesdecrease action potential

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
