A pre-cordial thump is delivered to a patient in cardiac arrest in an effort to counter ventricullar fibrillation and restart the heart. It should only be delivered if the cardiac arrest was witnessed AND a defibrillator is not immediately available.

Can loose wheel bearings cause a thump noise when hitting a bump?

Most certainly but a thump as described sounds more like one or more of the front shocks has gone south and lost its ability to dampen a bump. The thump you might be hearing is the effect of the shock actually bottoming out on its stroke and what you have as a result is hard contact with the components. I would look into the bearings for proper pre-load and also the shocks plus any ball joints, tie rod ends and other steering components. Many rack and pinion racks become loose as the result of worn dampening bushings that hold the actual rack to the vehicle frame; I would look into that also.
