I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but I'll give a brief example as to how curds are made, and hopefully it will cover your question. Curds are made by curdling milk with an acid like vinegar, lemon juice, or rennet. Raw milk can be curdled by adding lactic acid bacteria, which is then used to make sour milk cheeses. By increasing the acid in milk, it causes the milk proteins to bind to each other, resulting in the curds. When making curds, the liquid that rises to the top, that is drained off is known as whey.

What is the most common mistake made during CPR?
"Among the most common mistakes made [during CPR] are not giving compressions deep enough and performing compressions too fast or too slow."
CPR and AED Review Manual, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 2005
The main way healthcare providers fail in CPR is not pushing deep enough or fast enough. In other words we are not aggressive enough...probably because we are afraid to break ribs, or we just don't understand the mechanics, or it is to much work to do it properly.
AHA says the emphasis of adult CPR should be placed on providing proper compressions with as few interruptions as possible. They describe it as fast and deep. At least 2 inches for the adult or a better way is 1/3 to 1/2 of the person's total chest depth (so no matter what the person's size is you know how far to push) The goal should be to provide around 100 compressions in 1 minute.
Why is it that chest compressions are the most important thing for adult CPR?
Because most adults go into cardiac arrest due to cardiac problems (Sudden Cardiac Arrest, Heart attack, heart disease etc) and they need Oxygen circulated to keep the body alive (most importantly the brain) until ALS treatment can be provided and fix the problem. CPR doesn't fix cardiac problems it just buys the time and keeps the bodies tissue alive till advanced treatment can be administered.
DON'T MOVE HER, under any account- her spine could be fractured. Moving her could cause damage to the spinal cord and result in paralysis or loss of limb movement. Call the emergency services, and then just stay with her until they arrive- keep her still, don't allow her to move. Also keep her warm with a blanket, a jacket or whatever else comes to hand. Avoid giving her anything to drink in case she has a punctured lung. Administer reassurance.
