2026 QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◉ What is the best strategy for perfoming high-quality CPR on a
pt.with an advanced airway in place? Answer: Provide continuous
chest compressionswithout pauses and 10 ventilations per minute.
◉ 3 min after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one memeber of your
team inserts an ET tube while another performs continuous chest
comressions. During subsequent bentilation, you notice the
presence of a wavefom on the capnogrophy screen and a PETCO2 of
8 mm Hg. What is the significance of this finding? Answer: Chest
compressions may not be effective.
◉ The use of quantitative capnography in intubated pt's does what?
Answer: Allowsfor monitoring CPR quality
◉ For the past 25 min, EMS crews have attemptedresuscitation of a
pt who originally presented with V-FIB. After the 1st shock, the ECG
screen displayed asystole which has persisted despite 2 doses of epi,
a fluid bolus, and high quality CPR. What is your next treatment?
Answer: Consider terminating resuscitive efforts after consulting
medical control.
, ◉ Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation
sequence? Answer: Be sure O2 is NOT blowing over the pt's chest
during shock.
◉ During your assessment, your pt suddenly loses consciousness.
After calling for help and determining that the pt. is not breathing,
you are unsure whether the pt. has a pulse. What is your next action?
Answer: Begin chest compressions.
◉ What is an advantage of using hands-free d-fib pads instead of d-
fib paddles? Answer: Hands-free allows for more rapid d-fib.
◉ What action is recommended to help minimize interruptions in
chest compressions during CPR? Answer: Continue CPR while
charging the defibrillator.
◉ Which action is included in the BLS survey? Answer: Early
defibrillation
◉ Which drug and dose are recommended for the management of a
pt. in refractory V-FIB? Answer: Amioderone 300mg
◉ What is the appropriate intervalfor an interruption in chest
compressions? Answer: 10 seconds or less
