Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation ( 36 Questions)

A nurse is teaching a client about Hands-Only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). When is this technique most appropriate?


Correct Answer: C

A) Incorrect. For children in cardiac arrest, the standard CPR technique involves both chest compressions and rescue breaths. Hands-Only CPR is most appropriate for adults in cardiac arrest.

B) Incorrect. Near-drowning incidents may involve respiratory issues and potential water aspiration, making the delivery of rescue breaths essential. Hands-Only CPR is not the most appropriate technique in this situation.

C) Correct. Hands-Only CPR is most appropriate when the client is unresponsive and not breathing after sudden cardiac arrest, especially in adult victims. In such cases, bystanders can provide continuous chest compressions until professional help arrives.

D) Incorrect. For severe allergic reactions, the primary intervention is to administer epinephrine and seek emergency medical assistance. Hands-Only CPR is not indicated for anaphylactic reactions.
