Question

A nurse observes a window washer falling 25 feet (7.6 m) to the ground. the nurse rushes to the scene and determines that the person is in cardiopulmonary arrest. what should the nurse do first?

Answer 1

The first thing that the nurse should do is TO START CHEST COMPRESSION.
Cardiopulmonary arrest refers to a sudden loss of blood flow, which occur as a result of the failure of the heart to actively pump blood. Performing chest compress on a victim of cardiopulmonary attack will help to restore the pumping function of the heart again.
