What does Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Certification (CPR) entail?

• A. Art Therapist (AT)
• B. Certified Movement Analyst
• C. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Certification (CPR) — training in emergency treatment when someone's heart has stopped beating or someone has stopped breathing; includes airway clearance, chest compressions, and rescue breathing
• D. CTRS

Answer: (C)

CPR certification is about learning how to respond in a life-threatening emergency when the heart has stopped beating or someone isn’t breathing. The essential actions taught are opening or clearing the airway, performing chest compressions to keep blood moving, and providing rescue breaths to supply oxygen until professional help arrives. Other choices point to unrelated professions (art therapy, movement analysis, recreation therapy) and do not describe CPR training.
