AMERICAN RED CROSS ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT |243 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2023 ALREADY GRADED A+

A concept that helps to promote effective and efficient teamwork and reduce the likelihood of errors is called _____. Crew resource management Which tasks are responsibilities of the team leader? Sets clear expectations Assigns Roles Facilitates a debriefing session When should blood tests be obtained in the assessment of a patient experiencing a cardiovascular, cerebrovascular or respiratory emergency? During the secondary assessment When providing high-quality CPR to an adult, what is the proper rate for chest compressions? 100 to 120 per minute What is the rapid assessment? A quick assessment to ensure safety, form an initial impression about the patient's condition and determine the need for additional resources Which statements apply to providing high-quality chest compressions? Minimize interruptions Provide at the proper depth Provide at the proper rate In a six-person high-performance resuscitation team, which tasks are responsibilities of the five team members who are not leading the response? Performing chest compressions Recording key data Sharing pertinent observations A team leader instructs a team member to perform an intervention. To practice good communication, the team member should do which of the following? Repeat the task back to the team leader Acknowledge initiation of the intervention Acknowledge completion of the intervention Which assessments would be included in a primary assessment? Check airway patency Assessing adequacy of perfusion A team member confirms that a message is received and understood. What communication technique is the team member using? Closed-loop communication What end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) value confirms adequate ventilation in an intubated patient in respiratory arrest? 35-45 mmHg When providing high-quality CPR to an adult, what is the proper depth for chest compressions? At least 2 inches (5cm) but less then 2.4 inches (6 cm) When performing high-quality CPR on an adult without an advanced airway in place, what is the correct ratio of compressions to ventilations? 30 compressions to 2 ventilations During a primary assessment, what tool would you use to determine a patient's level of consciousness? AVPU model The Adult In-Hospital Cardiac Chain of Survival and the Adult Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Chain of Survival each contain how many links? 6 Mr. Goodman is exhibiting signs and symptoms of which condition? Heart attack Mr. Goodman is unresponsive. Valerie must now simultaneously check for breathing and a central pulse for no more than how many seconds? 10 Valerie has established that Mr. Goodman does not have a pulse and is not breathing, and she has exposed the chest. She must immediately begin CPR while Joanne retrieves and sets up the AED. Which actions should the team take to ensure that they are providing high-quality CPR? Allow the chest to fully recoil after each compression Avoid excess ventilations Provide smooth compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute and a depth of at least 2 inches Joanne correctly applied the AED pads using the anterolateral position. However, if Mr. Goodman had a pacemaker or ICD, she would adjust pad placement as necessary to avoid placing the AED pads directly over the pacemaker or ICD. True or false? True Kirron arrived and took over compressions. To ensure high-quality CPR, providers should switch off giving compressions every ___ minutes or sooner if the provider giving compressions is fatigued. 2 Joanne and Valerie switched to operating the BVM. While Joanne sealed the mask, Valerie depressed the bag. This is the preferred technique for BVM ventilation. True or false? True What is the correct volume of air to deliver during ventilations? 700 mL After the resuscitation event, the BLS team conducted a debriefing session to ensure continuous CPR quality improvement. Which observation or data point suggests a need for improvement? The chest compression fraction (CCF) was 58% You should expect to see an ETCO2 value less than ___ in the presence of hyperventilation. 35 mmHg What is the body's primary muscle of inspiration? Diaphragm Respiratory compromise manifests along a continuum. When a patient is breathing but the respiratory system is unable to meet metabolic demands, the patient is in: Respiratory failure While you are in the hospital cafeteria, a person begins choking. The person looks panicked and frightened. You go over to help and note that the person is not able to breathe, speak or cough. You call for additional resources and obtain consent. Which action would you do next? Perform back blows The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve depicts the relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and the: Arterial oxygen saturation (Sa02) Which non-respiratory differential diagnoses would you consider when assessing a patient with respiratory compromise? Cardiac tamponade Acute valvular insufficiency Cardiogenic pulmonary edema Which findings on capnography indicate the normal movement of carbon dioxide through the respiratory system? A waveform with a square shape An ETC02 value of 35 to 45 mmHg What ETCO2 value would you expect to see in the presence of hypoventilation? 50 mmHg In a patient who is showing signs and symptoms of respiratory compromise, you should provide the minimum level of supplemental oxygen needed to maintain an oxygen saturation of: 94% to 99% On rapid assessment, you note that your patient has increased work of breathing, as evidenced by tripod positioning, an inability to speak more than one or two words at a time and diaphoresis. What assessments should you obtain as part of your primary assessment? Airway patency Pulse oximetry Vital signs An adult patient becomes unresponsive while you are attempting to clear their obstructed airway. After providing 30 compressions, you open the patient's mouth and look for an object. If you do not see the object, which action should you attempt next? 2 ventilations
