The first thing you should do before helping an injured person
Assess scene SAFETY
CPR stands for this
CardioPulmonary Resuscitation
BLS stands for this
Basic Life Support
You find a person unconscious and not breathing normally. Your first major action should be to activate emergency services and begin this.
CPR
NWJRSY
'E'
New Jersey
This type of bleeding produces blood that flows steadily and is usually dark red
Venous bleeding
Before beginning CPR, you should first check the person for responsiveness and this/these...
Breathing
(also life threatening bleeding)
This device can analyze a cardiac rhythm and deliver an electrical shock when appropriate
AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
A student collapses and is unresponsive. This device should be used as soon as it is available.
AED
TNNSS
'E'
Tennessee
This type of bleeding produces bright red blood that spurts out to the rhythm of the heartbeat
Arterial bleeding
In adult CPR, chest compressions should generally be performed at this rate
100–120 compressions per minute
The first step in the adult BLS sequence is to assess responsiveness and this
Breathing
This emergency should be suspected with the sudden onset of weakness on one side, facial drooping, and slurred speech.
MSSSSPP
'I'
Mississippi
When treating a severe external bleed, this should be applied directly and firmly to the wound
Direct pressure
For an adult, chest compressions should generally be at least this deep
2 inches (5 cm)
This should be activated when an adult is unresponsive and not breathing normally
Emergency medical response system/911
A person develops crushing chest pressure, sweating, and shortness of breath. This potentially life-threatening condition should be suspected.
AMI (Acute Myocardial Infarction, or heart attack)

Alaska
A person has a nosebleed. Rather than tilting the head backward, you should have the person do this.
Sit upright and lean forward
For single-rescuer adult CPR without an advanced airway, the standard compression-to-ventilation ratio is this
30:2
High-quality CPR requires adequate rate, depth, recoil, and MINIMIZING this...
Interruptions in compressions
A person collapses during exercise and is unresponsive with abnormal breathing. One person is getting an AED and another person is calling 911. Describe the correct sequence of your life saving actions.
Begin CPR, apply AED, follow prompts, resume CPR
