Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation ( 36 Questions)

A client asks the nurse about the compression-to-ventilation ratio for adult CPR. What is the nurse's best response?


Correct Answer: A

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

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

C) Incorrect. The ratio of 15:2 is not the current guideline for adult CPR. The correct ratio is 30:2.

D) Incorrect. The compression-to-ventilation ratio in adult CPR is not based on the individual's weight but follows the standard 30:2 guideline.
