A nurse is teaching a group of students about basic life support. Which of the following statements, if made by a student, indicates a need for further teaching?
  1. “The brachial artery is the most appropriate location to assess the pulse of an infant.”
  2. “If the client has a neck injury, the jaw thrust maneuver is used to open the airway.”
  3. “If unsuccessful at giving the first 10 to 12 ventilations, begin the chest compressions.”
  4. “I should activate the emergency medical system first when rescuing clients 8 years or older and activate EMS last rescuing children less than 8 years old.”
Explanation
Answer: C - If the first set of ventilations is unsuccessful, the victim’s head must be repositioned before beginning the next set. If still unsuccessful, check the victim’s mouth for a foreign body obstructing the airway. Chest compressions are not initiated until the airway is patent.
