    Hard to say with certainty. If you're really worried about it, you should contact them.

    That said, NCLEX questions don't typically come down to such details.

    CAB applies to CPR only and really applies to non-hospital situations. It stands for "compressions (not circulation), airway, breathing". For all questions about medical care in the hospital, an airway issue is always the most important. Remember that the NCLEX is not re-done every year (every 5, I think). NCLEX pulls from a test bank of thousands of questions and some are several years old. So even if you get a CPR question, it might not reflect the AHA guidelines.

    It's really unlikely that you'll get a question related to CPR on the NCLEX, but if you do you'll have to answer it based on what the question is asking. Evaluate the question, but when in doubt stick with ABC.
