Which two components make up CPR?

Compressions and breathing
Monitoring and alerting
Observation and assessment

The correct answer is: Compressions and breathing

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) consists of two primary components: compressions and breathing. Compressions are performed to maintain blood flow to the heart and brain when the heart has stopped beating effectively. This is critical in preserving the victim's life until more advanced medical help can take over. Breathing, specifically rescue breaths, is included to provide oxygen to the lungs of someone who is not breathing. This combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths is essential in helping to restore circulation and breathing in a person experiencing cardiac arrest or respiratory failure, effectively boosting the chances of survival. Understanding these components is crucial for anyone who may need to administer CPR in an emergency situation.
