No, rescue breathing is not the same as CPR. CPR is rescue breathing and chest compressions. CPR cycles for an Adult is 30 compressions and 2 breaths.
How are your breathing rate and pulse rate related?
The breathing rate and pulse rate are related proportionally. If the breathing rate increases, so does the pulse rate. The pulse rate is an indication of the breathing rate.

Check for danger and ensure the area is safe. Check the person's airway, breathing, and pulse. If the person is breathing and has a pulse, place them in a recovery position.

What will you do to prevent performing CPR on victim that has only fainted?
Check to see if they have a pulse, or are breathing. If they have both, no CPR is needed. If they have a pulse but aren't breathing, you can perform rescue breathing only without chest compressions. If they do not have a pulse and aren't breathing, you perform rescue breathing and chest compressions.
Can you stop CPR when you have a pulse?
No. Monitor the pulse, and give rescue breathing if needed.
What is it called when you prevent someone from breathing?
Asphyxiation
What to do with no breathing bout you have a pulse?
CPR.
Should you do a CPR for someone can't breath but he is conscious?
Yes. You do CPR to mimic the action of the heart. If a person has a pulse it means their heart is pumping. If you give CPR to someone with no pulse, when their heart starts again they will typically vomit as a result of all the pushing on the chest. At that point stop and roll them on to their side so they dont choke. Edit: Dont confuse not breathing with a stopped heart. A person can have a pulse and still not be breathing. Think of being underwater. If you come across a person that is not breathing but has a pulse you need to open the airway. Lay them on their back, tilt the head backwards and open the jaw. Look for and clear any obstructions in their mouth.
