During CPR on an elderly patient, you should check for a pulse after performing 30 chest compressions and before giving 2 rescue breaths, if you're following the standard CPR protocol. However, if you're alone and the patient is unresponsive and not breathing normally, it's generally recommended to skip the pulse check and initiate CPR immediately. Checking for a pulse can be time-consuming and may delay critical care. Always call emergency services as soon as possible.
