The "Good Samaritan Law" is...

• The freedom to try anything when helping someone.

• To protect caregivers acting in "Good Faith" if additional injuries occur during CPR or First Aid.

One cycle of adult CPR is...

• 30 compressions/ 2 breaths at ~150 BPM

• 30 compressions / 2 breaths per minute

• 20 compressions / 3 breaths at ~100 BPM

• 30 compressions / 2 breaths at ~120BPM

What does the AED do?

• It's a machine that detects abnormal heart rhythms and shocks the heart.

• Machine that stops the flow of blood to the heart.

• Machine that checks for breathing and temperature.

• Machine to reduce pain associated with compressions.

During cardiac arrest, what happens to a person?

• The heart stops beating, the person doesn't respond, and the person isn't breathing normally.

• The heart is still beating and pumping blood, but the person isn't breathing normally.

• The heart is still beating and pumping blood, and the person is still alive.

• The heart is still beating, the person isn't breathing normally, and blood stops moving.

You see a person collapse in front of you while entering the lobby of your office building. You check for responsiveness, but they do not respond and are not breathing. What is your next step?

• Have someone else call 9-1-1 or the designated emergency number, and get an AED/First aid kit while you begin CPR.

• Check her mouth for any items she may be choking on

• Give 2 rescue breaths immediately

• Roll the woman onto her back.

You should continue CPR until:

• The person shows an obvious sign of life.

• You are too exhausted to continue.

• Another trained responder or EMS personnel take over

• All of these are correct
