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.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
