QUESTIONS ANSWERS COMPREHENSIVE
STUDY RESOURCE
●● Which team role keeps track of interruptions in compressions?
Answer: timer/recorder
●● Which team role makes treatment decisions and assigns roles?
Answer: team leader
●● Which of the following are resuscitation triangle roles in a high-
performance team?
Answer: -AED/Monitor/Defibrillator
-compressor
-airway
●● While performing high-quality CPR, when do pauses in
compressions typically occur?
Answer: -intubation
-compressor switches
-defibrillation
-rhythm analysis
,-pulse checks
●● Assesses the patient and provides compressions
Answer: compressor
●● Operates the AED and alternates with the Compressor after every 5
cycles or 2 minutes to avoid fatigue
Answer: monitor/defibrillator
●● provides ventilation
Answer: airway
●● Assigning your team members to individual roles and outlining what
each member needs to do during the resuscitation attempt is an example
of what element of high-performance team dynamics?
Answer: clear roles and responsibilities
●● You and your team have initiated compressions and ventilation. The
AED was attached, and "no shock" was advised. Your team has
continued CPR for 1 minute. You tell your team in a respectful, clear,
and calm voice, "Leslie, during the next analysis by the AED, I want you
and Justin to switch positions, and I want you to perform compressions
for the next cycle." Leslie replies, "Got it. Next time the AED analyzes, I
will switch with Justin and assume the role of Compressor."
, This is an example of which element of high-performance team
dynamics?
Answer: closed-loop communication
●● As Team Leader, you notice that your Compressor is pushing too
fast. It is important to correct actions that are incorrect, but it is also
important to be tactful when delivering this correction to a colleague.
This is an example of what element of team dynamics?
Answer: constructive intervention
●● What action can you take as a team during and after a resuscitation
attempt that helps individual team members perform better and brings
awareness to system strengths and deficiencies?
Answer: debriefing
●● AED special considerations
Answer: hairy chest, water, transdermal medicine patch, implanted
defibrillator or pacemaker, defibrillation for infants less than 1 year of
age
●● Hairy chest
Answer: -if your AED has 1 set of pads and a razor, quickly shave the
area and then apply the pads
