Question

You and another person start CPR. other person does compressions and you notice that rate is too slow. What should you say?

A. Need to compress 120/minute at least
B. Need to compress 100 - 120/minute at least
C. Need to compress 100/minute at least
D. Need to compress 80 - 120 minute at least

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. 'Need to compress 100 - 120/minute at least.' Inform the other person to adjust the CPR compression rate accordingly.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the scenario where the other person is performing CPR compressions at an inadequate rate, it's important to provide corrective feedback. The correct rate for chest compressions during CPR is to compress at least 5 cm deep and at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. This tempo is similar to the beat of the song "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees.

You should communicate to the other person by saying, "We need to compress at 100 to 120 compressions per minute to maintain effective CPR." This feedback is both concise and instructive, ensuring that the resuscitation efforts adhere to the current CPR standards.
