13. Where should you attempt to perform a pulse check in a child from one year of age to puberty?

• Brachial artery

• Popliteal artery

• Temporal artery

• Carotid or femoral artery

15. Why are breaths so important for children and infants in cardiac arrest?

25. Which of the following would be your next call to action if the rhythm is unshockable, and there is no pulse?

• Resume CPR and prepare AED to administer a shock.

• Administer atropine if the individual has a fast heart rate.

• None of the above

• Immediately resume CPR.

Answer 1

• CPR is a life saving procedure by trying to retrieve the function of heart and lungs.Minimising disturbances any physical or emotional one are to be avoided during the pulse check, during shock it is  highly recommended for the safety of patient as well as others and avoiding interruptions
  • Ans:True
• An Automated External Defibrillator is designed in a way to be used in all weather condition may be snow or rain,but it is necessary to make the patients chest dry before applying shock with pad and it can be used if a patiwnt is lying on the snow
  • True
• The role of a second rescuer on a CPR is to maintain breath and open airway ,so it is difficult for the second rescuer to get the AED but during the mean while of CPR cycle the second rescuer can try taking a AED to place
  • Ans:True
• Shock is a form of electric current passed to heart to regain its activity.It is a must to make sure that all are away ,no metallic element in contact with patient surface, there is a saying that the person who does the shock says"I clear,You clear,All clear)
  • Ans:False
• An AED is a device whuch cannot shock a patient if it recommends,it also specifies that the brain is functioning the nerves of heart to regain its activity in a greater extents
  • Ans:False
• A CPR can be effective only when it is provided as early as possible in about less than 10 seconds, minimizing the interruptions and pushing hard and fast because a light and slower mechanism is not the protocol of CPR
  • Ans:All of the above
