True or False: In single-person CPR for Military Working Dogs, the responder should only perform ventilation to optimize circulation.

The correct answer is based on the understanding of how CPR should be conducted specifically for military working dogs, which differs significantly from CPR for humans. In single-person CPR for military working dogs, the responder should focus on performing both chest compressions and ventilations. Effective CPR includes a combination of compressions to maintain blood circulation and ventilations to ensure adequate oxygenation of the blood.

In this specific scenario, where the question posits that ventilation alone should be performed to optimize circulation, this is misleading. While ventilation is crucial to help with oxygenation, without chest compressions, circulation is not effectively maintained. Both elements are vital in CPR, and each serves a critical purpose in stabilizing the animal until further medical care can be provided.

The other choices reflected different scenarios or conditions for performing CPR, but emphasizing the necessity of both components—ventilation and chest compressions—is fundamental to effective resuscitation efforts in dogs, especially those that are working in military capacities.
