Consent is not needed for any student, regardless of age
undefined
For single-rescuer CPR on a child, what is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio?
5 compressions to 1 breath
15 compressions to 2 breaths
Continuous compressions without breaths
30 compressions to 2 breaths
undefined
If a dressing becomes soaked with blood, what should you do next?
Add more dressings and continue firm pressure
Apply ice directly on the wound
Release pressure to allow clotting
Remove the old dressing to check the wound
undefined
When should a tourniquet be used during first aid for a limb injury?
Only by paramedics, never by trained lay rescuers
Only after 30 minutes of pressure
For all bleeding, even minor cuts
When severe bleeding cannot be controlled with direct pressure
undefined
When applying an AED to a child under 8 years old or under 55 lb and pediatric pads are not available, what should you do?
Use adult pads, ensuring they do not touch each other
Place both pads over the heart
Cut adult pads to make them smaller
Do not use the AED at all
undefined
Proper tourniquet placement for severe limb bleeding is best described as:
Directly over the wound and as loose as possible
Below the wound to block venous return
2-3 inches above the wound, not over a joint, tightened until bleeding stops
On the hand or foot, tightly over fingers or toes
undefined
For a choking infant under 1 year old, what is the correct sequence?
Give two breaths first
Abdominal thrusts only
5 back slaps followed by 5 chest thrusts, repeat as needed
Hang the infant upside down by the ankles
undefined
You find a student with a chemical splash to the eye. What is the correct first aid?
Apply eye drops to reduce redness
Neutralize the chemical with the opposite pH
Cover both eyes and wait for EMS without flushing
Flush the eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids open
undefined
Which sign most strongly suggests heat stroke rather than heat exhaustion?
Mild thirst only
Slight muscle soreness
Moist skin with normal alertness
Altered mental status with hot, possibly dry skin
undefined
You suspect an opioid overdose. Which sign supports this, and what should you do if trained and authorized?
Slow or stopped breathing with pinpoint pupils; administer naloxone and start rescue breathing/CPR
High fever; give aspirin
Severe bleeding; apply ice
Itchy rash; give antihistamine only
undefined
What is the recommended action for a deep open chest wound with bubbling?
Apply ice and wait
Have the person drink water to clear bubbles
Cover with a vented chest seal if available and monitor breathing while activating EMS
Pack tightly with gauze and tape on all sides without monitoring
undefined
Direct pressure has not controlled severe leg bleeding and a tourniquet is unavailable. Which adjunct can be considered if trained?
Use duct tape to seal the skin
Pour antiseptic into the wound
Pack the wound with hemostatic gauze and hold firm pressure
Apply a hot pack to speed clotting
undefined
For severe arterial bleeding, loosening the tourniquet periodically prevents tissue damage and is recommended.
False
True

Study Outcomes

  1. Understand CHP First Aid Concepts -

    Gain clarity on the key first aid principles tested in the CHP practice test and how they apply to school bus driver responsibilities.

  2. Identify Bleeding and Wound Care Steps -

    Recognize different types of bleeding and learn the correct procedures for controlling blood loss and treating cuts.

  3. Apply CPR and Rescue Breathing Techniques -

    Master the sequential steps for performing CPR and rescue breaths to support passengers experiencing respiratory distress.

  4. Evaluate Emergency Scenarios -

    Assess various roadside and onboard emergencies through scenario-based questions to determine the best first aid response.

  5. Demonstrate Use of First Aid Equipment -

    Practice selecting and using essential first aid tools - such as bandages, gloves, and breathing barriers - on a school bus setting.

  6. Recall CHP Written Examination Strategies -

    Revise effective test-taking techniques and question formats to boost confidence for the CHP practice test number 1.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Primary Survey & ABCs -

    Start every emergency with the Primary Survey mnemonic "ABC" (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) recommended by the American Red Cross. Ensuring a clear airway and effective breathing before addressing circulation can save precious seconds. Mastering this sequence is vital for success on your CHP practice test and real”world first aid situations.

  2. CPR Protocols & Ratios -

    Adhere to American Heart Association (AHA) standards of 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths at a rate of 100 - 120 compressions per minute. For children, compress to one”third chest depth and consider 5 initial rescue breaths. Practicing on a manikin helps cement the 30:2 rhythm for your CHP written examination.

  3. Bleeding Control Techniques -

    Use direct pressure, elevation, and, if needed, a tourniquet placed 2 - 3 inches above a wound per National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines. Remember "Push, Pack, Wrap" when using hemostatic dressings to control severe hemorrhage. This systematic approach is a staple of any first aid practice test.

  4. Choking & Airway Obstruction -

    Follow the Heimlich maneuver for conscious adults and back blows plus chest thrusts for infants under one year as outlined by the CDC. If the person becomes unresponsive, transition immediately to CPR with chest compressions. Knowing age-specific steps will give you an edge on your first aid exam practice.

  5. Shock Recognition & Management -

    Identify shock by pale skin, rapid pulse, and altered mental state based on Mayo Clinic guidelines. Keep the patient lying flat, elevate their legs 12 inches, maintain body temperature, and avoid giving food or drink. Prompt care and clear documentation are key skills for the CHP practice test number 1.
