Q1. When a paediatric first aider arrives at a child who is unresponsive, what is the very first action in the DR ABC primary survey?
  • A.  Check for a danger to yourself, the child and bystanders
  • B.  Shout for help immediately
  • C.  Open the child's airway
  • D.  Start chest compressions
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A. Check for a danger to yourself, the child and bystanders
DR ABC starts with Danger — you must confirm the scene is safe before approaching, because a first aider who is injured or overcome cannot help the child. Only once the area is safe do you move on to checking Response.
Q2. How many initial rescue breaths should be given to an unresponsive infant who is not breathing normally, before starting chest compressions?
  • A.  1
  • B.  2
  • C.  5
  • D.  10
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C. 5
Paediatric BLS starts with 5 initial rescue breaths rather than 2, because cardiac arrest in infants and children is more often caused by a breathing problem than a primary heart problem. Only after these 5 breaths do you begin the compression cycle.
Q3. When performing CPR on a choking child who has become unresponsive, what extra step should be taken before each rescue breath?
  • A.  Give an extra 5 chest thrusts first
  • B.  Turn the child fully onto their front
  • C.  Wait 30 seconds before attempting a breath
  • D.  Look in the mouth and remove any visible object, but do not do a blind finger sweep
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D. Look in the mouth and remove any visible object, but do not do a blind finger sweep
Before each rescue breath during CPR for choking, the rescuer should look inside the mouth and remove any object that is clearly visible, but should never perform a blind finger sweep as this can push an unseen object further into the airway. This targeted check gives a chance to clear the airway without adding risk.
