The correct hand position for adult CPR chest compression is?
- On the lower half of the sternum (center of the chest)
- Over the upper half of the sternum
- Over the xiphoid process
- ON the left side of the chest over the heart
Explanation
Adult CPR requires compressions on the center of the chest to effectively pump blood.
The lower half of the sternum avoids injury to the xiphoid process.
Compressions over the upper sternum or xiphoid can cause rib or organ injury.
Correct hand placement ensures efficient circulation to the heart and brain.
The left side of the chest is incorrect; compressions must be midline, over the sternum.
