Which item is not listed as equipment for BVM skill practice?

• A. Adult CPR Manikins
• B. Resuscitation Masks
• C. Oxygen Tank
• D. Adult bag-valve-mask resuscitators

Answer: (C)

The skill tested here centers on how to properly use a bag-valve-mask to deliver breaths during resuscitation, which relies on the essential equipment that allows you to practice the technique: an adult CPR manikin to simulate a real patient, a resuscitation mask to create a secure seal over the face, and an adult bag-valve-mask resuscitator to deliver breaths. The oxygen tank isn’t part of the basic BVM skill practice because learning the technique doesn’t require delivering supplemental oxygen; you can practice the mechanics (seal, head position, hand placement, and ventilation rate) without it. Oxygen may be used in more advanced or realism-focused scenarios, but it isn’t a standard component of the core BVM practice setup.
