Unresponsive; no normal breathing
100
A baseline vital-sign set should include what key measures?
LOC, pulse, RR, BP, SpO₂, skin
100
A patient has audible gurgling. What airway treatment is indicated?
Suction
100
What are adult BLS compression rate and depth targets?
100–120/min; 5–6 cm
100
After assisting with a medication, what key finding must be reassessed and documented?
Patient response
200
A trauma patient is snoring and cervical injury is possible. Which manual airway manoeuvre is preferred?
Jaw thrust
200
After an intervention, what should be trended to show whether a patient is improving or worsening?
Vitals, LOC, skin, work of breathing
200
During BVM ventilation, what finding shows that a breath is effective?
Gentle chest rise
200
The AED says shock advised. What sequence protects the team and minimizes pause time?
Clear, shock, resume CPR
200
What must a PCR record after medication assistance?
Drug, dose, route, time, response
300
A patient is cyanotic with a gurgling airway and no chest rise. List the immediate priorities.
Suction, open airway, ventilate
300
SpO₂ reads 88% on cold fingers with dark nail polish. How do you validate it before acting?
Check waveform; warm/clean site; reassess
300
An OPA causes gagging in a conscious patient. What should you do?
Remove the OPA

In two-rescuer CPR, when should the compressor change?
About every 2 minutes

Commercial tourniquet
400
