CPR Pro chapter 5 homework(You will get more out of this open book quiz if you read the chapter first and then go back and look for the answers.)
CHAPTER 5: AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATION
Multiple Choice Circle the one correct answer.
1. An electrical shock delivered to the heart to correct certain life-threatening heart
rhythms is called—
a. Asystole.
b. Diastole.
c. Fibrillation.
d. Defibrillation.
2. It is important for everyone to 'stand clear' before using an AED to deliver a shock
because—
a. The victim’s arm may swing out and strike you when the shock is delivered.
b. The AED will not work unless you stand clear.
c. You or someone else could get shocked.
d. The AED may not deliver the correct shock to the victim.
3. Early defibrillation is an important step in the Cardiac Chain of Survival for all of the
reasons below EXCEPT—
a. Asystole cannot be corrected by defibrillation.
b. Most victims of sudden cardiac arrest need an electrical shock called defibrillation
c. Each minute that defibrillation is delayed reduces the chance of survival by about
10 percent.
d. Advanced medical personnel can transport the victim to the hospital more quickly.
4. After confirming that a victim has no pulse and is not moving or breathing, and an
AED is available, the next step is—
a. Turn on the AED.
b. Plug the connector into the AED and attach the pads to the victim’s chest.
c. Let the AED analyze the heart rhythm or push the button marked analyze.
d. Deliver a shock if one is indicated after ensuring that no one is touching the victim and there are no hazards present.
5. When using an AED—
a. Dry the victim’s chest thoroughly using alcohol and gauze pads.
b. Remove any patch you see on the victim’s chest.
c. Check for pulse while the device is delivering a shock.
d. Place the victim on his or her side.
6. The pads of an AED for an adult should be placed—
a. On the upper right chest and lower left side.
b. On the lower right side and upper left chest.
c. On the lower right chest and lower left side.
d. On the upper right and upper left side of the chest.
7. After the initial analysis, if the AED prompt indicates that 'no shock is advised,' the
next step is to—
a. Restart the AED.
b. Look for movement and recheck for breathing and a pulse.
c. Begin rescue breathing.
d. Begin CPR for 5 cycles (about 2 minutes).
8. If using an AED on a victim who was removed from the water all of the following are
important EXCEPT—
a. Making sure there are no puddles of water around you, the victim or the AED.
b. Drying the victim’s chest.
c. Removing wet clothing for proper pad placement if necessary.
d. Drying the victim’s feet and legs.
9. When using an AED on a victim with a pacemaker or implanted cardiac device—
a. Place the pad directly over the implanted cardiac device.
b. Adjust pad placement if necessary.
c. Reverse the position of the pads on the victim’s chest.
d. An AED cannot be used if the victim has an implanted cardiac device.
10. When using an AED on a child, complete all of the following steps EXCEPT—
a. Use pediatric AED pads.
b. Make sure the pads are not touching.
c. If the pads are touching, place one pad on the child’s chest and the other pad on the
child’s back.
d. Place both AED pads on the child’s abdomen just above the navel.
Multiple Answers Choose the correct answer or answers.
11. An AED with appropriate pediatric pads may be used on children who are—
a. Victims of trauma.
b. Conscious but having chest pain.
c. In a pool.
12. An AED may be used on—
a. Victims of hypothermia in cardiac arrest.
b. Victims of trauma in cardiac arrest.
c. Victims with a pacemaker who are in cardiac arrest.
d. Victims on the stairs who are in cardiac arrest.
True or False Circle True or False.
13. True False Since a child’s chest may be small, it is alright to defibrillate if the
pads touch each other when placed on the chest.
14. True False It is correct to place one pad on the child’s back if the pads touch
each other on the child’s chest.
15. True False It is important not to delay defibrillation when taking steps to provide
for a dry environment.
16. True False Most victims of sudden cardiac arrest need an electrical shock called defibrillation
17. True False Advise all rescuers and bystanders to " pay attention ” when analyzing or shocking
the victim.
18. True False Do not touch or move the victim while the AED is analyzing.
19. True False After the second analysis, if the AED tells the rescuer 'no shock advised,' he or she
should call 911 again
20. True False An AED equipped with pediatric AED pads is capable of delivering levels of energy to
a child between one and ten years of age and weighing less than 55 pounds.
21. True False electrocardiogram is an electrical shock that interrupts the heart’s chaotic electrical activity,
which can restore the heart’s ability to function as a pump.
22.True False ventricular fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by a state of totally disorganized
electrical activity of the heart, resulting in a quivering of the ventricles. In this
state, the ventricles cannot pump blood and there is no movement, breathing or pulse.
23. True False ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by very rapid contraction
of the ventricles. Although there is electrical activity resulting in a regular
rhythm, the rate is often too fast to allow the heart to pump blood properly.
24. True False The incidence of cardiac arrest in children is relatively low compared to adults.
25. True False Cardiac arrest resulting from ventricular fibrillation does not happen to young
children.
26. True False Most cardiac arrests in children are not sudden.
