Question 5 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

In which scenario would a first responder initiate CPR?

Answer
A
when a woman is choking in a restaurant
B
when a person suddenly loses consciousness, is unresponsive, and has a pulse
C
when a man is found face down in the street with no pulse, and he is not breathing
D
when a girl falls from a second story window, has broken bones, and is severely bleeding

Explanation

CPR is started when a person is unresponsive, not breathing normally, and has no pulse. The man found face down has no pulse and is not breathing, so he needs CPR. A choking person may need choking first aid, while someone who is unresponsive but still has a pulse needs care to support breathing and monitoring rather than CPR.
