    CPR is a manual way to keep the heart what?

    • Breathing

    • Pumping

    • Giving blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Pumping
    Explanation
    CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is a manual technique used to keep the heart pumping. It involves chest compressions to manually circulate blood throughout the body when the heart is not functioning properly. By applying pressure to the chest, CPR helps to maintain blood flow and oxygenation to vital organs, keeping the heart pumping until further medical intervention can be provided.

    What is the medical term for pressing down several times on the chest?

    • CPR

    • Chest compressions

    • Rescue breathing

    Correct Answer
    A. Chest compressions
    Explanation
    Chest compressions is the correct answer because it refers to the medical procedure of pressing down several times on the chest. This technique is commonly performed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to help circulate blood and maintain oxygen flow to the vital organs when the heart has stopped beating. Chest compressions are a crucial component of CPR and can help increase the chances of survival in cardiac arrest cases.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that for this particular class, a minimum of three theses were required. Since the question asks for the correct answer, and the answer provided is "True," it implies that the statement is accurate and there indeed needed to be at least three theses for the class.

    CPR is considered for people who are unresponsive with no 

    Correct Answer
    breathing
    Explanation
    CPR is considered for people who are unresponsive and not breathing because it is a life-saving technique that can help restore blood circulation and oxygenation. When a person is unresponsive and not breathing, it indicates a potential cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. CPR involves chest compressions and rescue breaths to manually circulate oxygenated blood to vital organs until professional medical help arrives. By providing CPR, the chances of survival for the person increase significantly, as it helps maintain vital organ function and prevents brain damage due to lack of oxygen.

    A thesis is a subject for an essay.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A thesis is indeed a subject for an essay. It is a central argument or main idea that the essay will revolve around. The thesis statement is typically found in the introduction of the essay and provides a clear and concise statement of what the essay will argue or discuss. It helps to guide the reader and provide a focus for the essay. Therefore, the statement "A thesis is a subject for an essay" is correct.

    Chest compressions have to be at a rate of at least how many per minute?

    • 100

    • 200

    • 125

    Correct Answer
    A. 100
    Explanation
    Chest compressions have to be at a rate of at least 100 per minute in order to effectively perform CPR. This is because chest compressions help to circulate blood and oxygen to the vital organs, maintaining some level of perfusion until advanced medical help arrives. A rate of 100 compressions per minute ensures that there is adequate blood flow and oxygenation to the body, increasing the chances of survival for the person in need.

    When was CPR created?

    • 1965

    • 1960

    • 1958

    Correct Answer
    A. 1960
    Explanation
    CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, was created in 1960. This technique combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to revive a person whose heart has stopped beating. It was developed by Dr. Peter Safar and Dr. James Elam, who introduced the concept of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and external chest compressions. CPR has since become a vital lifesaving skill taught to healthcare professionals and the general public.

    CPR was created by who?

    • Henry Heimlich

    • The American Heart Association

    • The American Cancer Association

    Correct Answer
    A. The American Heart Association
    Explanation
    CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, was created by The American Heart Association. The organization developed and established the guidelines and techniques for CPR, which are widely recognized and used worldwide to save lives in emergency situations. The American Heart Association continues to play a crucial role in training individuals in CPR and promoting its importance in healthcare and emergency response.

    Where do you put an IV when giving a baby drugs?

    • The radial artery

    • A vein

    • The mouth

    Correct Answer
    A. A vein
    Explanation
    When giving a baby drugs, an IV (intravenous) is typically inserted into a vein. This allows for direct administration of the medication into the bloodstream, ensuring quick and efficient absorption. The radial artery is not used for IV placement as it is an artery, not a vein. The mouth is also not used for IV administration as it is a different route of drug administration, typically used for oral medications.

    Heimlich Maneuver is performed by delivering upward thrusts into the what?

    • Abdomen

    • Stomach

    • Ribs

    • Mouth

    Correct Answer
    A. Abdomen
    Explanation
    The Heimlich Maneuver is performed by delivering upward thrusts into the abdomen. This technique is used to dislodge an object stuck in the airway and prevent choking. By applying pressure to the abdomen, it creates a force that helps to expel the obstructing object and restore normal breathing. The maneuver targets the diaphragm and forces air out of the lungs, which can dislodge the blockage and allow the person to breathe again. The abdomen is the correct area to apply pressure in order to effectively perform the Heimlich Maneuver.

    What chemical is used to put babies to sleep?

    • Vikiden

    • Chloroform

    • Sodium Si fate

    Correct Answer
    A. Chloroform
    Explanation
    Chloroform is a chemical that has historically been used as an anesthetic, including for infants. It is a volatile liquid that can induce sleep and unconsciousness when inhaled. However, it is important to note that the use of chloroform as an anesthetic is highly controversial and has largely been phased out due to safety concerns and the availability of safer alternatives.

    What is CPR?

    • Cardio Plastic Resuscitation

    • Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation

    • Cardiopulmonary Resusitation

    Correct Answer
    A. Cardiopulmonary Resusitation
    Explanation
    CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. It is a life-saving technique used in emergency situations when someone's heart has stopped beating or they are not breathing. CPR involves a combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain blood flow and oxygenation to the body's vital organs until professional medical help arrives.

    Henry Heimlich devised the Heimlich maneuver in?

    • May of 1974

    • June of 1974

    • December of 1975

    Correct Answer
    A. June of 1974
    Explanation
    The correct answer is June of 1974. Henry Heimlich devised the Heimlich maneuver, a first-aid procedure used to treat choking victims, in June of 1974. This technique involves applying abdominal pressure to forcefully expel an obstructing object from a person's airway. It has since become a widely recognized and effective method for saving lives in emergency situations.

    CPr involves chest respirations at least how deep?

    • 4 cm

    • 5 cm

    • 9 cm

    • 2 cm

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 cm
    Explanation
    CPr involves chest respirations at least 5 cm deep because this depth is necessary to ensure effective ventilation and oxygenation of the lungs. Chest compressions during CPR are performed to mimic the natural movement of the chest during normal breathing, and a depth of 5 cm allows for adequate airflow and oxygen exchange in the lungs. This depth is recommended by medical guidelines to maximize the chances of successful resuscitation.

    Explanation
    ROSC does not stand for Return of Speculation and Circulation. The correct expansion of ROSC is Return of Spontaneous Circulation. This term is commonly used in medical contexts, particularly in relation to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), to indicate the return of a spontaneous heartbeat and circulation in a patient who was previously in cardiac arrest.
