1. What is the recommended minimum chest compression fraction (CCF)
for high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)?
A. 50%
B. 60%
C. 70%
D. 80%
Answer: C. 70%
Rationale: The American Heart Association recommends a minimum
CCF of 70% to ensure that the patient receives the maximum benefit from
CPR. A higher CCF increases the likelihood of favorable outcomes.
2. Which of the following is NOT a factor that can affect the chest
compression fraction?
A. Rescuer fatigue
B. Frequent pulse checks
C. Use of mechanical CPR devices
D. High-quality chest compressions
Answer: D. High-quality chest compressions
Rationale: High-quality chest compressions are essential for effective
CPR and do not negatively affect the CCF. Factors such as rescuer fatigue,
frequent pulse checks, and not using mechanical CPR devices can lower
the CCF.
3. When measuring CCF, which device is commonly used to monitor the
quality of chest compressions?
A. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
B. Pulse oximeter
C. Capnography
D. Feedback device
Answer: D. Feedback device
Rationale: Feedback devices are used to provide real-time information
on the quality of chest compressions, including rate, depth, and CCF,
helping to guide rescuers in delivering high-quality CPR.
4. In the context of CPR, what does the 'fraction' in chest compression
fraction refer to?
A. The ratio of compressions to ventilations
B. The proportion of time in which chest compressions are performed
