What are the conditions of performing CPR?

  1. Altered Level of Awareness, performed in 2-minute intervals

  2. Equal to or over 30 days

  3. Equal to or over 18 years

  4. Anaphylaxis suspected

The correct answer is: Altered Level of Awareness, performed in 2-minute intervals

Performing CPR requires specific conditions to be met. These conditions include an altered level of awareness in the patient, meaning they are unconscious or unresponsive, as well as performing CPR in 2-minute intervals. The other options listed do not pertain to the conditions of performing CPR. Option B refers to the age of the patient, option C refers to the age of the person performing CPR, and option D refers to a specific medical condition. None of these conditions are necessary or related to performing CPR. Therefore, the correct option is A.
