Which of these best describes the purpose for "hands-only" CPR?

Hands-only CPR is better and more effective than full CPR and is now the best way to provide CPR for any patient by any responder
Hands-only CPR reduces risk of liability and increases oxygenation better than CPR with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Hands-only CPR is now the only method for providing CPR regardless your level of education and expertise
Hands-only CPR was designed for those who are not trained or feel uncomfortable delivering mouth-to-mouth breaths. It doesn't replace traditional CPR.

I believe from what I learned, mouth to mouth has been proven less effective. Hands only CPR should be the only one put into practice.

Answer:

Hands-only CPR was designed for those who are not trained or feel uncomfortable delivering mouth-to-mouth breaths. It doesn't replace traditional CPR.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hands on will keep the heart beating and for short periods keep the oxygen already in the blood flowing if continues to long without breathes there's an increased risk of brain damage
