Question

(3.1.c) cardiac emergencies: quiz
cpr performed on an adult should include chest compressions done at the rate of—
60 to 80 per minute.
50.to 100 per minute.
about 100 per minute.
more than 100 per minute.

Explanation:

According to the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines, for adult CPR, the recommended rate of chest compressions is about 100 - 120 compressions per minute. Among the given options, "About 100 per minute" is the closest to the guideline - recommended range. The range of 60 - 80 per minute is too slow and may not provide adequate blood circulation. The range of 50 - 100 per minute is also not in line with the current guidelines. "More than 100 per minute" is too vague as the upper limit is 120 per minute according to the guidelines.

Answer:

About 100 per minute.
