For lay CPR, no pulse check is required.
Infants in need of CPR must be positioned differently than adults in need of CPR. Also, circulation needs to be checked in a different position for infant CPR than for adult CPR (check the carotid artery instead of the brachial artery). Thus, it would be more helpful to attend a child-specific first aid course as well, instead of simply taking an adult-specific first aid course.

Adult CPR is needed for whenever someone needs aid in breathing. Therefore, it can be any age that needs it, as long as the person has a certification in CPR for legal reasons. The word "adult" refers to at least age 18, so adult CPR is CPR for those 18 and over only.
For BLS (not lay rescuer), rescue breathing (RB) is 10-12 breaths per minute for an adult, which is True. Lay rescuer, adult RB has been eliminated. If you mean during CPR, adult (30 compressions to 2 breaths), you will not get 10 breaths per minute during CPR which makes the statement false.
Adult, Child, Infant 1-rescuer CPR is 30 Compressions : 2 Breaths.
Do not stop CPR to check for signs of life in Adult CPR. Continue CPR until help (EMS) arrives or someone takes over.
An adult of course.
Signs of breathing difficulty in adult CPR are wheezing, irregular, shallow, or gasping breaths.
If it's an adult, you should immediatly before CPR. If its a child, you should do CPR for 5 minutes and then call. It's approximately 2 Minutes for the infant or child. ~Jason, just passed his FirstAid/CPR Taining.
During CPR the lungs and heart are stimulated.

For giving CPR, an adult is defined as someone over the age of 12 by the American Red Cross.
