Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Assessment of the pulse of an unresponsive patient by health care providers should be limited to 10 sec to avoid delaying chest compressions. Pulse checks are difficult to accomplish with any fidelity. Pulse and rhythm checks should not be done after a shock until five cycles of CPR have been completed. Pulse checks should not be done by lay rescuers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Should the initial attempt to ventilate fail, reposition the victim's head, and repeat the effort.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
