You know that for CPR, a child is someone considered from the age of 1 year to which of the following? Adulthood 7 years old Onset of puberty 17 years old Check Answer

The answer is: Onset of puberty.

Explanation for each option:

• Adulthood: This is not correct because CPR guidelines specify different techniques for children and adults, and the transition is not defined by reaching adulthood.
• 7 years old: This is not correct because the age range for a child in CPR guidelines extends beyond 7 years old.
• Onset of puberty: This is correct because CPR guidelines typically consider a child to be from 1 year old until the onset of puberty, at which point adult CPR techniques are used.
• 17 years old: This is not correct because the onset of puberty usually occurs before 17 years old, and CPR guidelines transition to adult techniques at puberty.

Summary: For CPR purposes, a child is considered from the age of 1 year until the onset of puberty.
