Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation ( 36 Questions)

A nurse is providing BLS training to a group of individuals. During the training, a participant asks about the compression-to-ventilation ratio for adult CPR. What is the nurse's best response?


Correct Answer: B

A) Incorrect. The compression-to-ventilation ratio of 5:1 is not the current guideline for adult CPR. The correct ratio involves more frequent compressions.

B) Correct. The recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio for adult CPR is 30:2. This means 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths.

C) Incorrect. Continuous compressions without providing ventilations can lead to inadequate oxygenation, which is essential for the survival of the individual.

D) Incorrect. The compression-to-ventilation ratio of 10:1 is not the current guideline for adult CPR. The correct ratio involves more frequent compressions and periodic rescue breaths.
