Holiday CPR Quiz

We renewed our basic CPR certification today. It's a requirement for all medical staff at the hospital. Psychiatrists endured the usual jokes, which are de rigueur ("How does your mannikin feel about choking?"). But I was inspired to make this CPR quiz. Do try to attend a CPR training course. You could save a life!
