Best Answer

You only perform a primary assessment in CPR. The primary assessment determines the immediate threats to life. The primary assessment is checking the ABC's and if there is severe bleeding. The secondary assessment is performed after threats to life are controlled. The secondary assessment is taught in First Aid.
