Answer to Question 1

C
CPR can reverse clinical death if initiated before 4 minutes.

Answer to Question 2

C
There is a moral obligation to continue CPR once it has been initiated unless the rescuer is exhausted and cannot continue, trained medical personnel take over CPR, or a licensed physician pronounces the victim dead.
