Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
For the adult and child, the compression/ventilation ratio is the same as for the single rescuer (30:2).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Rescue attempts continue until advanced life support is available, the rescuers note spontaneous pulse and breathing, or a physician pronounces the victim dead.
