Which is the appropriate treatment? - Correct Answer-B) Performing synchronized cardioversion. 29. During post-cardiac arrest care, which is the recommended duration of targeted temperature management after reaching the correct temperature range? - Correct Answer-B) At least 24 hours. 30. Three minutes into a cardiac resuscitation attempt, one member of your team inserts an endotracheal tube while another performs chest compressions. Capnography shows a persistent waveform and a PETCO2 of 8 mmHg. Which is the significance of this finding? - Correct Answer-A) Chest compressions may not be effective. 31. Which is the recommended oral dose of aspirin for a patient with a suspected acute coronary syndrome? - Correct Answer-C) 160 to 325 mg. 32. A team member is unable to perform an assigned task because it is beyond the team member's scope of practice. Which action should the team member take? - Correct Answer-A) Ask for a new task or role. 33. As the team leader, when do you tell the chest compressors to switch? - Correct Answer-B) About every 2 minutes. 34. You are performing chest compressions during an adult resuscitation attempt. Which rate should you use to perform the compressions? - Correct Answer-C) 100 to 120/min. 35. A patient is being resuscitated in a very noisy environment. A team member thinks he heard an order for 500 mg of amiodarone IV. Which is the best response? - Correct Answer-D) I have an order to give 500 mg of amiodarone IV. 36. A patient in stable narrow-complex tachycardia with a peripheral IV in place is refractory to the first dose of adenosine. Which dose would you administer next? - Correct Answer-B) 12 mg. 37. A patient has a witnessed loss of consciousness. The lead II ECG reveals this rhythm. Which is the appropriate treatment? - Correct Answer-C) Defibrillation 38. Which of these tests should be performed for a patient with suspected stroke within 25 minutes of hospital arrival? - Correct Answer-D) Noncontrast CT scan of the head. 39. What is the minimum systolic blood pressure one should attempt to achieve with fluid administration or vasoactive agents in a hypotensive post-cardiac arrest patient who achieves return of spontaneous circulation? - Correct Answer-D) 90 mm Hg. 40. You have completed 2 minutes of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead II rhythm shown here, and the patient has no pulse. Another member of your team resumes chest compressions, and an IV is in place. What do you do next? - Correct Answer-C) Give epinephrine 1 mg IV. 41.
