Question
you respond to a collapsed pregnant female as the only rescuer. you follow the bls sequence and find that she is unresponsive, is not breathing, and has no pulse. she is visibly pregnant. you activate the emergency response system. what is your next action? choose the correct answer manually displace the fundus to the victims left side place a cushion under the victims right hip begin chest compressions turn the victim onto her left side
When a pregnant woman is in cardiac arrest (unresponsive, not breathing, no pulse), the next step after activating the emergency response system is to begin chest compressions. Manual displacement of the fundus or placing a cushion under the hip (while relevant in some pregnancy - related care) is not the immediate next step in a cardiac arrest situation. Turning the victim onto her left side is also not the appropriate immediate action for cardiac arrest. According to the Basic Life Support (BLS) guidelines, chest compressions are a crucial part of resuscitation efforts.
