Move an injured person only if what while giving CPR?
You should move a person during CPR only if the scene becomes unsafe.
Who is responsible to initiate CPR in nursing home who both arrived at the scene a paramedics or an RN?
The general rule is that CPR is initiated by the first person responding to the scene, whether it's the registered nurse or the paramedic. Even a certified nursing assistant who knows CPR should be the first one to initiate if they are there first.
Why is it necessary to make sure the scene around you is safe before starting the ABC's of CPR?
Because if you become injured in an unsafe scene, you will be unable to help the victim AND will compound the problem by requiring assistance yourself.
When should you discontinue CPR?
Continue CPR until: a. An AED becomes available to hook up to the victim b. More advanced medical personnel take over c. The scene becomes unsafe (get yourself & the victim to safe environment) d. The victim shows signs of life e. You are too tired to continue
Find a co-worker who is not a professional rescuer performing CPR what do you do?
You do not need to be a professionalrescuer to perform CPR. If CPR is being done correctly, confirm 911 has been called. Ask if the person needs a rest and you take over CPR. If CPR is being done incorrectly, ask the person if you can take over CPR. If you are in a setting where you have a duty to respond or take action (as a professional rescuer), you are the more advanced person so you should assess the situation and determine what needs to be done next. Is the person doing CPR correctly? Is the scene safe? Do you need to call your headquarters? Are there any other victims? Follow your protocols.

How should you start off your CPR class when you teach?
Personally, when instructing CPR, I ensure that the students are fully aware of the value of CPR and its lifesaving properties. Showing a real life video of a CPR survivor will make your students want to listen and learn the skill more. Starting with a few statistics such as "the chance of survival from a cardiac arrest without CPR is less than 5%" or "only 32% of cardiac arrest patients receive bystander CPR prior to the arrival of Emergency Services" will make your students understand the need to take action should a real life scenario unfold.
