true
false
question 22 (1 point)
what should you always do before performing cpr
shake the person to wake them up
check to see if the person is conscious and breathing
go run and get help

Explanation:

• For the first question, the standard CPR cycle is 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths (in some cases, like for infants with a lone rescuer, it can be 30:2 as well, but definitely not 20 compressions and 1 breath).
• For the second question, clutching the throat is indeed the universal sign for choking.
• For the third question, before performing CPR, you must check if the person is conscious and breathing. If they are unconscious and not breathing (or only gasping), then start CPR. Shaking the person might be part of checking consciousness but the full check is more comprehensive. Going to get help might be done after starting CPR if alone (in some protocols, like for adults, start CPR then call for help if alone; for infants/children, call first if not alone). But the most fundamental step before starting the actual compressions and breaths is checking consciousness and breathing.

Answer:

• First question: B. False
• Second question: A. True
• Third question: b. Check to see if the person is conscious and breathing
