You can save someones life.
A CPR certificate indicates you have taken CPR training and are qualified to administer cardio-pulmonary resucitation in an emergency. Some employers may require this certificate when working with children, the eldery, or the ill.
Start with 30 compressions, then 2 breaths, repeat 30:2 ratio for each CPR cycle.
You would only administer CPR if the person does not have a pulse or (at a slightly lower place on the chest) if you knew/believed the person was choking. Otherwise, if the person has a pulse but is not breathing, you should administer rescue breaths.
No, rescue breathing is not the same as CPR. CPR is rescue breathing and chest compressions. CPR cycles for an Adult is 30 compressions and 2 breaths.
Knowing CPR when babysitting is important because it can save a child's life in an emergency situation where they stop breathing or their heart stops beating. Being trained in CPR allows babysitters to respond quickly and effectively, providing critical care until medical help arrives.
Get them out, or get fresh air in. If you can get them out, give oxygen if available, call 911 and administer CPR if possible.
knowing and not knowing the whole story xD
Yes, CPR can be administered to someone who is in cardiac arrest or not breathing in order to try to save their life. It involves chest compressions and rescue breaths to help circulate oxygenated blood throughout the body. It is important to receive proper training in CPR techniques to perform it effectively.
This is not advisable. You could inadvertently cause more harm even if you mean well. Continue to administer CPR until professional help becomes available.

To knowing things you want to remember in the future.
CPR is an emergency procedure. A child or an adult may be in in need of it. It is up to you, the person on site. Do you administer it or do you wait and read the rules, you may get sued. You cannot get into trouble for doing nothing and allowing someone to die. You can get into trouble for doing something that may, or may not, save their lives. That is the society and the rules we have created. Tough, we did it.
