Final answer:

In one rescuer ADULT CPR, the standard is to perform chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute and perform high-quality chest compressions with less emphasis on artificial respiration.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compression and respiration rate for one rescuer ADULT CPR follows specific guidelines. Current standards recommend a chest compression rate of 100 compressions per minute with the compressions being at least 5 cm deep. While high-quality chest compressions are emphasized over artificial respiration, it is also essential to provide breaths at an average interval that does not cause hyperventilation or inadequate ventilation for the patient.
