Question

why is hands-only cpr recommended instead of traditional cpr with breaths for a sudden collapse? * 1 point it requires special equipment it is only for children it replaces the need for an aed it encourages fast action without mouth-to-mouth

Explanation:

• Option A: Hands - Only CPR does not require special equipment, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: Hands - Only CPR is not only for children; it can be used for adults in sudden collapse situations too, so this is wrong.
• Option C: Hands - Only CPR does not replace the need for an AED (Automated External Defibrillator). An AED is still needed in many cases of cardiac arrest, so this is incorrect.
• Option D: Hands - Only CPR is recommended because it eliminates the mouth - to - mouth component, which some people may be hesitant to do. This hesitation can delay action, and by removing that barrier, it encourages bystanders to act quickly and start chest compressions immediately.

Answer:

D. It encourages fast action without mouth - to - mouth
