You are mostly, right, however you never press on the xiphoid process. Its a jagged and point edge. If you press on it could break off and start piercing organs, and your patient would be worse off.

28) When administering chest compression to someone whose heart has stopped beating, the heel of the hand should be placed on the sternum on a line drawn between the nipples. Why would it be a problem

Chest compressions are done with the heel of the hand in the center of the sternum for adults and children. True or False?
