All members of the health care team must follow basic life support guidelines to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for clients experiencing cardiac arrest. Essential components of adult CPR include: Chest compressions are performed at a rate of 100-120/min and a depth of 2.0-2.4 inches (5-6 cm), allowing complete chest recoil between compressions (Option A).Defibrillator pads are placed on the right upper chest, just below the clavicle, and on the left lateral chest, near the anterior axillary line below the nipple line (Option C). Chest compressions are performed at a rate of 100-120/min and a depth of 2.0-2.4 inches (5-6 cm), allowing complete chest recoil between compressions (Option A). Chest compressions are performed at a rate of 100-120/min and a depth of 2.0-2.4 inches (5-6 cm), allowing complete chest recoil between compressions (Option A). Defibrillator pads are placed on the right upper chest, just below the clavicle, and on the left lateral chest, near the anterior axillary line below the nipple line (Option C). Defibrillator pads are placed on the right upper chest, just below the clavicle, and on the left lateral chest, near the anterior axillary line below the nipple line (Option C). (Option B) During CPR, compressions are paused every 2 minutes to assess the client's pulse. This pause should be no longer than 10 seconds to minimize delays between compression cycles. (Option D) Manual breaths are administered at a rate of 2 breaths per 30 chest compressions in clients without advanced airways or once every 6 seconds without chest compression interruption with advanced airway placement. (Option E) The team member managing the defibrillator should use firm verbal cues (eg, "stand clear!") to clear all team members from contact with the client, followed by visual confirmation before defibrillation. Educational objective: During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, chest compressions are performed at a rate of 100-120/min. Defibrillator pads are placed on the right upper chest and on the left lateral chest.
