In Moldovan first-aid guidelines for road accidents, what is the correct compression depth for adult chest compressions?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. 5 to 6 centimetres into the breastbone

  1. Step 1: Compressions on an adult sternum must reach a depth of 5 to 6 cm (approximately one-third of chest depth) for adequate cardiac output. Answer: 5 to 6 centimetres into the breastbone. Why not the others: Less than 5 cm is ineffective in adults; over 6 cm risks severe internal trauma.
