Areya is taking CPR lessons. She uses a dummy to practice what she has learned. Areya checked the dummy for consciousness, calle
d 911, and started to do 60 chest compressions per minute. Her trainer stopped Areya's demonstration to correct her. What did the trainer most likely say to Areya? "Call 911 before doing anything else." "Bend his knees and lift his legs." "Do 100 to 120 compressions per minute." "Perform the Heimlich maneuver."
The correct answer is to do 100 to 120 compression per minute.
Areya's sequence of what she did was correct, she checked for consciousness, called 911 and then started to do chest compressions. As she is still learning CPR and is not that confident yet in her abilities it is recommended that the amount of compressions performed is 100 to 120 per minute not 60.
