After performing rescue breathing on an adult for about 2 minutes, you look for movement and recheck for breathing and a pulse. You find that the adult no longer has a pulse. Where should you position your hands on the adult for CPR?

Answer: Two hands on the center of the chest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency technique which include chest compressions along with an artificial ventilation to maintain preserved brain function manually before further action is taken to restore normal blood supply and breathing in a heart arrested individual.

Chest compressions will be provided if there is no pulse along with ventilations at a rate of 30:2 and the two hands will be placed on the center of the chest.
