1. None
   Three
2. One
   Two

The answer is one short whistle blast. A lifeguard will use this to get someone's attention for minor situations like running by the pool or diving into a shallow area of the water.

1. Quad bike
   Inflatable boats
2. Bike
   Pick-up trucks

Lifeguards don't typically use a bicycle in a beach setting, as it would be difficult to actually ride a bike through sand. Instead, they use vehicles like inflatable boats (in the ocean), quad bikes and pick-up trucks.

1. It's when a lifeguard "scans" the entirety of the pool/beach area for 10 seconds and is within a 20-second reach of all swimmers.
   No lifeguard should work past 10:20 pm.
2. It refers to a CPR technique, where the lifeguard does 10 chest compressions, followed by 20 seconds of breathing into the valve mask.
   It refers to having no more than 10 lifeguards on duty, who should all be within a 20-yard radius from each other.

The 10:20 rule is an important technique that is used by lifeguards in both swimming pool and beach settings. It's when a lifeguard scans the entirety of the swimming area for 10 seconds and is within a 20-second reach of all swimmers.

1. A lifeguard is going on break.
   A lifeguard is telling someone to stop running.
2. A lifeguard is going to save someone.
   Everybody should clear the pool.

Everybody should clear the pool when a lifeguard blows the whistle with one long breath. This doesn't necessarily mean an emergency, either; it could simply be a drill.

1. Run-and-swim entry
   Slide-in entry
2. Compact jump
   Stride jump

A run-and-swim entry involves a lifeguard running through shallow waters to save someone. This is entry is used when the water is typically no more than 3 feet deep.

1. If the victim is close to the edge of the pool
   If the victim has a possible injury of the neck or spine
2. If the victim is in shallow waters
   If the victim is in deep waters

If the victim has a possible injury of the neck or spine, a lifeguard will typically use a slide-in entry. This is when a lifeguard slowly slides into the pool without causing any disturbances in the water, as that could affect the potential injury even more.

1. A spinal rescue
   An in-line stabilization
2. An active-victim rescue
   A passive-victim rescue

An active-victim rescue involves a lifeguard saving a conscious person, or someone who shows active signs of needing help in the water. This is opposite from a passive-victim rescue, when the victim may be unconscious.

1. A device that is used to "reset" a victim's heart rhythm
   A type of valve mask
2. A device used to give oxygen to a victim
   A board that is used for spine and neck injuries

An AED is a device used to reset a victim's heart rhythm by using two pads on specific areas of the torso. AED stands for "automated external defibrillator."

1. Clean the pool area
   Provide first aid to minor injuries
2. Perform rescue operations
   Talk with other lifeguards

Lifeguards should not talk to other lifeguards, as this can create a distraction from a potential victim. A lifeguard's primary duties are to clean the pool area, provide first aid for minor injuries, scanning the swimming area and performing rescue operations.

1. Two
   Three
2. One
   Four

The answer is two short whistle blows. This is used to alert other lifeguards to a potential emergency situation. If a lifeguard needs to leave his or her station to respond to an emergency or perform a rescue, the two short whistle blasts will let other lifeguards know that backup help might be needed.

1. CPR
   Active-victim rescue
2. Negligence
   Passive-victim rescue

A passive-victim rescue involves saving a victim who may be unconscious or showing unusual signs of drowning. This is different from an active-victim rescue, in which the victim is conscious.

1. When a lifeguard slowly slides into the water
   When a lifeguard runs through shallow water to save a victim
2. A jump from the edge of a pool, when the lifeguard extends one leg during the jump
   A jump from somewhere high above pool, like a lifeguard chair

A stride jump is done from the edge of a pool, when the lifeguard extends one leg forward during the jump, like taking a stride when walking. This entry is typically used when the water is at least 5 feet deep.

1. Stride jump
   Compact jump
2. Slide-in entry
   Run-and-swim entry

A compact jump involves lightly tucking in the knees and jumping from a high point, like a lifeguard chair. The water should be at least 5 feet deep for this type of jump.

1. Slide-in entry
   Simple assist
2. Reaching assist
   Stride jump

If a victim is near the edge of a pool and shows signs of distress, a lifeguard can simply pull the person out of the water by reaching out to assist them, perhaps with the help of a rescue tube or a rescue pole.

1. It's used for victims who are not breathing.
   It's used for victims who have a spinal injury.
2. It's used for victims in deep water.
   It's used for victims in shallow water.

A simple assist is used in shallow waters. This could include helping a victim regain their balance in shallow waters or rescuing a submerged victim who is near the edge of the pool.

1. Passive victim rear rescue
   Active victim rear rescue
2. Active victim front rescue
   Slide-in entry

If a victim is facing away from you as they are drowning, an active victim rear rescue should be performed. In this approach, the lifeguard will grasp the victim under the arms from behind, supporting the victim's shoulders while kicking and pulling them back towards the shore or the side of the pool.

1. Beach drag
   Pool drag
2. Passive drag
   Active drag

This technique is called a beach drag. It's typically used in a beach setting to gently pull a victim out of the water and to a safe location. This method shouldn't be used if the victim might have a back, head or neck injury, as being pulled along the ground could cause worse damage.

1. None
   One
2. Two
   Three

The answer is three short whistle blows. This is used to indicate that a lifeguard is about to perform a rescue operation.

1. Beach drag
   Front-and-back carry
2. Walking assist
   Running assist

A walking assist is used to help a victim walk from the water and to a safe location. This is done by placing the arm of the victim around the lifeguard's shoulders for support.

1. One
   Two
2. Three
   Four

Two lifeguards are needed to complete a front-and-back carry. The first lifeguard holds the legs of the victim, while the second lifeguard offers support to the torso area. This method is used to carry a person who's unconscious or unable to move out of shallow water.

1. Jaw-thrust maneuver (with head extension)
   Head-tilt/chin-lift
2. Spinal maneuver
   Jaw-thrust maneuver (without head extension)

A variety of techniques are used to open a victim's airway, but a spinal maneuver is not one of them. The other three techniques in the answer list are used to open the airway to allow for oxygen flow into the victim.

1. When a victim requires CPR
   When a victim has a potential head, spinal or neck injury
2. When a victim needs assistance to walk
   When a victim is actively drowning

A spinal board is used for spinal rescues, which may indicate a potential head, neck or spinal injury. This type of rescue also works in both shallow waters and deep waters.

1. BVM
   AED
2. Non-rebreather mask
   CPR mask

An AED is not a type of oxygen delivery device. Instead, it's used to reset the heart rhythm of a victim with a life-threatening irregular heartbeat. The rest of answers in the list are in fact oxygen delivery devices.

1. Two chest compressions every 30 seconds
   Thirty chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths
2. Thirty seconds of rescue breaths followed by two chest compressions
   Thirty chest compressions followed by waiting 2 seconds

30:2 is a rule-of-thumb technique that is used to perform efficient CPR on a victim whose heart has stopped beating. It consists of a pattern of 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths.

1. 100-120
   80-90
2. 60-70
   85-99

The range of chest compressions that should be administered over a 1-minute span is 100-120. This is accomplished via the 30:2 rule, which consists of 30 chest compressions, followed by 2 rescue breaths (this cycle is repeated).

1. Two
   One
2. Three
   Four

Two long whistle blows are used to clear the pool due to an emergency. This may also be used to signal swimmers that the pool is now closed.

1. 30
   20
2. 10
   15

A lifeguard should spend no more than 10 seconds when checking the victim's pulse. A lifeguard must work quickly in emergency situations, and too much time spent on checking for a pulse may delay required treatment to a victim.

1. High arm in endangered spine
   High arm in endangered spleen
2. High arm in endangered stomach
   High arm with endangered skin

H.A.IN.E.S stands for "High arm in endangered spine." It's a type of position in which a victim is turned to his or her side so that the spine is not potentially damaged. It also keeps the airway open.

1. Abnormal breathing
   Jaundice
2. A blue color around the lips
   Sweating

Jaundice refers to a yellow color in the white part of a person's eyeball and the skin. Jaundice can be caused by a number of different underlying medical conditions, but it is not a sign of respiratory distress. A lifeguard should look for sweating, abnormal breathing, dizziness and a blue color around the lips to detect if someone is in respiratory distress.

1. Three
   Six
2. Four
   Five

Five back blows should be performed by a lifeguard to a victim that is actively choking. This may be followed by five abdominal thrusts.

1. Nasal cannula
   Resuscitation mask
2. Bag-valve mask
   No oxygen delivery device is needed.

A bag-valve mask, or BVM, should be used for a victim who has severe hypoxia, which is when the body is severely lacking oxygen. Also called a manual resuscitator or self-inflating bag, works by forcing air into the lungs and providing ventilation. A non-rebreather mask may also be used.

1. Prescription medication
   Provider (health care)
2. Place of trauma
   Past medical history

The 'P' in SAMPLE stands for "past medical history. S = symptoms, A = allergies, M = medications, P = past medical history, L = last oral intake and E = events (which led to the current situation).

1. The nostrils should be pinched together by the victim.
   Tissue should be stuffed into the nostrils.
2. The head should be tilted back.
   Do nothing at all; the bleeding will eventually stop.

The nostrils should be pinched together by the victim to stop a nose bleed. Lifeguards can also utilize an ice pack on the nose as well.

1. Apply ice to the affected area.
   Apply an elastic roller bandage.
2. Apply suction to the affected area.
   Apply a tourniquet to the affected area.

An elastic roller bandage should be applied to the affected area. This type of bandage reduces blood flow and can help prevent swelling. Of course, if it's possible the snake was venomous, expert medical care should also be sought immediately. The rest of the answers in the list should never be used for a snakebite.

1. Flotation tube
   Nylon tube
2. Rescue tube
   Lifeguard tube

A rescue tube is used for various rescue operations. It is bright red in color and held in a horizontal position, across the lifeguard's waist.
