Question 1
How should you perform infant CPR (two-rescuer technique)?
Correct Answer:
Use the heel of one hand on the chest
Explanation:
In infant CPR with two rescuers, the preferred method is to position both thumbs on the center of the chest, with the fingers wrapped around the infant’s back to support it, forming a two-thumb encircling grip. Press straight down to about 1.5 inches (4 cm) at a rate of about 100–120 compressions per minute, and allow full chest recoil after each compression. One rescuer maintains the chest compressions in this encircling grip, while the other rescuer delivers rescue breaths with a bag‑valve mask or similar device. This technique provides stable hand placement, better control of depth on a very small chest, and allows continuous compressions while breaths are given. Using the heel of a hand on the chest is not appropriate for infants because the chest is small and fragile; a heel is too large and can overcompress or injure the chest, and it’s harder to maintain proper depth and recoil or to coordinate with breaths. The two-thumb encircling method is designed specifically for the infant’s anatomy and the two-rescuer workflow.
Question 2
During CPR, the hands should be placed on the chest over which area?
Correct Answer:
On the lower half of the breastbone midway between nipples
Explanation:
During CPR, place the hands on the center of the chest, specifically on the lower half of the sternum midway between the nipples. This position lines up with the heart so each compression effectively pushes the heart toward the spine and drives blood forward to the rest of the body. It also allows you to achieve the appropriate compression depth for adults (about 2 inches or 5 cm) while reducing the risk of injury to the xiphoid process or internal organs. Placing hands higher on the chest, toward the left, or over the heart apex would not align with the ventricles and would make compressions less effective and potentially more dangerous.
Question 3
What is implied consent in first aid?
Correct Answer:
If the patient is unconscious or unable to respond, you may provide necessary aid under implied consent; obtain explicit consent if the person regains capacity.
Explanation:
Implied consent in first aid means you may provide care when the person cannot give permission themselves, because in an emergency a reasonable person would want help. If someone is unconscious or unresponsive, you can take necessary, life-saving or life-sustaining actions within your trained scope. You continue until they regain capacity to decide for themselves or until a higher level of care arrives. Once they become capable, you should obtain explicit consent before continuing. If they regain and refuse care, you must respect their wishes. In emergencies involving minors or others who can’t respond and no guardian is available, follow your local laws and training, but implied consent generally allows you to act to prevent harm.
Question 4
If you know the victim is diabetic and is having a diabetic emergency, but you do not know whether it is a problem of high or low blood sugar, you should
Correct Answer:
Give the victim sugar
Explanation:
Treat for a possible low blood sugar first when a diabetic who is conscious can swallow. Low blood sugar can rapidly cause confusion, fainting, or loss of consciousness, and giving glucose or a sugar-containing drink usually reverses it quickly. Since you don’t know whether the problem is high or low, giving a quick-acting sugar source is the safest, most reliable immediate step to prevent a dangerous drop in brain function. After giving sugar, monitor the person and check again in about 10 to 15 minutes. If there’s improvement, continue to monitor and offer additional sugar if needed; if there’s no improvement or the person becomes unconscious, call emergency services and do not give anything by mouth.
Question 5
How should you treat a minor cut or abrasion?
Correct Answer:
Clean with water and soap, remove debris, apply antiseptic if available, cover with a sterile dressing, and wash hands afterward.
Explanation:
The main idea is preventing infection through proper cleaning and protection of a minor wound. Clean the cut with running water and a mild soap to remove dirt and bacteria, then gently remove any debris. If an antiseptic is available, use it to further reduce bacterial presence. Cover the wound with a sterile dressing to protect it from dirt and friction and to help maintain a good healing environment. Wash your hands after handling the wound to prevent transferring germs to the wound or to other parts of your body. Avoid using alcohol on the wound, and don’t leave it exposed or untreated with a dressing, since that can irritate tissue and raise infection risk. If bleeding is heavy or signs of infection appear later, seek medical care.
