Question

Valerie has established that Mr. Goodman does not have a pulse and is not breathing, and she has exposed the chest. She must immediately begin CPR while Joanne retrieves and sets up the AED. Which actions should the team take to ensure that they are providing high-quality CPR? Select all correct options that apply. Provide smooth compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute and a depth of at least 2 inches. Allow the chest to fully recoil after each compression. Minimize interruptions in compressions to less than 15 seconds. Avoid excessive ventilations. Provide slow, effortless ventilations that last about 2 seconds each and make the chest fully rise.
