Ive been certified for 4yrs and took a 2 year break from nursing. Well now I just start working again, And i forgot some simple things since i was away. 1 being taking tpr's. Now when taking a pulse should i take count for 30 seconds and times that by 2 , or 15 seconds and times it by 4?
2. when taking reps i know the breathing is usually 18 or 20 in normal adults. But how do i caculate it?
could you explain this to me. I know it may be a stupid question(s), but i figured rather safe then sorry, since im not sure anymore.
