Question: 1 / 50

You are performing CPR on a victim and an assisting responder arrives. Which of the following is most appropriate for the assisting responder to do first?

Begin giving ventilations to the victim.

An assisting responder should first begin giving ventilations to the victim while the first responder continues performing compressions. This ensures that the victim is receiving both oxygen and circulation during the resuscitation effort. B, C, and D are all incorrect options because they do not involve immediate action to provide assistance to the victim. B is not necessary as the first responder can change positions while also performing CPR. C and D are not appropriate as calling EMS and stopping CPR should only be done after initial assistance is provided to the victim.

Call for a change in position to assist with CPR.

Check to see whether EMS personnel have been called.

Have the first lifeguard stop CPR to allow for victim reassessment.
