true

Explanation:

Analyze compression-only CPR hand technique

The first question asks if you should use one hand when performing compression-only CPR. According to standard CPR Guidelines, compression-only (hands-only) CPR is typically performed on teens or adults, which requires using two hands to achieve the necessary depth of 2 to 2.4 inches. Using only one hand does not provide sufficient force for an adult. Thus, the statement is false.

Analyze adult chest compression hand technique

The second question asks if you should use 2 hands when performing chest compressions on an adult. Standard CPR Guidelines state that adult chest compressions must be performed with two hands (one hand placed on the center of the chest, and the other hand on top with fingers interlaced) to ensure adequate depth and force. Thus, the statement is true.

Analyze the initial steps of CPR sequence

The third question asks if you should start chest compressions immediately after securing the area. According to standard CPR Guidelines, after securing the area (ensuring the scene is safe), you must first check for responsiveness, shout for help, call 911/get an AED, and check for breathing before starting chest compressions. You do not jump directly from securing the area to compressions without assessment. Thus, the statement is false.
