Cardiac Arrest Algorithms (CPR, ACLS) · NCLEX Exam

Which of the following is included in high-quality CPR for an adult?

  1. Rate of 60-70 per minute with a depth of about 4 cm.
  2. Rate of 100-120 per minute, depth at least 5 cm, full recoil.
  3. Rate of 140 per minute with deliberately shallow compressions.
  4. Compression-only CPR with no ventilation by trained providers.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rate of 100-120 per minute, depth at least 5 cm, full recoil.

High-quality adult CPR uses a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute, a depth of at least 5 cm (2 in), full chest recoil, and minimal interruptions. Slower or faster rates and shallow depth reduce perfusion.
