What you're getting
- 6 printable PDFs: cover, course notice, full study guide, two condensed cheat sheets, and an exam-day pocket card.
- Content built from the public syllabus and real test-taker accounts.
- No fake "actual exam" content — honest, source-cited study aids.
Who this is for
- Caregivers, lifeguards, and fitness instructors who need adult/child/infant CPR + AED
- DCW and DSP students adding the CPR requirement to their caregiver cert path
- Workplace safety and OSHA compliance staff
- Anyone who needs a citable reference for adult, child, and infant rates and depths
- Parents, teachers, and coaches who want a written pocket card
What's covered
- Chain of Survival: Recognize → CPR → AED → ALS → Post-arrest care
- Adult CPR: rate 100–120/min, depth 2–2.4 in (5–6 cm), 30:2 ratio, full recoil
- Child CPR: 2 in depth, 30:2 (1 rescuer) / 15:2 (2 rescuers), 2 min CPR first if alone
- Infant CPR: 2 fingers, 1.5 in depth, cover mouth + nose, anterior-posterior pads
- AED: power on, upper right + lower left, "clear!", resume CPR immediately
- Conscious choking: 5 back blows + 5 abdominal thrusts (adult/child) / 5 chest thrusts (infant)
- Opioid overdose: 911 + naloxone + CPR if not breathing
- Good Samaritan Law — A.R.S. § 32-1471 (act in good faith within your training)
Why this guide works
- **Adult / child / infant rates and depths on one page.** Test-takers say the rate-vs-depth recall is where most points are lost.
- AED step-by-step is on the pocket card. Memorize the 5 steps in order.
- Opioid overdose and the Good Samaritan rule are spelled out — these show up in the scenario questions.
- Sourcing point to AHA, ARC, OSHA, and A.R.S. § 32-1471 — no fake authority claims.
What test-takers say
Based on public test-taker accounts on Quizlet, Stuvia, and caregiver forums:
- Test-takers say the skills demo is the easy part if you narrate every step.
- The "alone with adult vs. alone with child/infant" call-911 question reportedly trips up most first-time takers.
- Multiple accounts flag the conscious-vs-unresponsive choking branching as the highest-weight scenario.
