Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation ( 36 Questions)

A nurse is teaching a group of healthcare providers about the Chain of Survival in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Which component represents the first link in the chain?


Correct Answer: A

A) Correct. The first link in the Chain of Survival is early recognition and activation of the emergency response system. Recognizing a cardiac arrest or life-threatening emergency and calling for help immediately is crucial to initiating a timely and effective resuscitation response.

B) Incorrect. While the rapid delivery of advanced life support is essential, it is not the first link in the Chain of Survival. Before advanced life support, there are other critical components that need to be activated.

C) Incorrect. Initiating chest compressions and rescue breaths is a vital part of the Chain of Survival, but it is not the first link. Early recognition and activation of the emergency response system take precedence.

D) Incorrect. While medications play a role in advanced cardiac life support, they are not part of the initial links in the Chain of Survival. The first link focuses on early recognition and activation of the emergency response system.
