What element of a system of care is represented by properly functioning resuscitation
equipment? - Correct Answer-Structure
What is the first link in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) chain of survival? -
Correct Answer-Activation of emergency reponse
What are signs of clinical deterioration that would prompt the activation of rapid
response system? - Correct Answer-Symptomatic hypertension
Seizure
Unexplained agitation
What is the primary purpose of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency
team (MET)? - Correct Answer-To improve patient outcomes by identifying and treating
early clinical deterioration
What happens when teams rapidly assess and intervene when patients have abnormal
vital signs? - Correct Answer-The number of in hospital cardiac arrest decreases
In addition to decreased IHCA, what are some other benefits of implementing a rapid
response system? Select all that apply. - Correct Answer-Decrease ICU length of stay.
Decreased in total hospital length of stay.
Which is the main advantage of effective teamwork? - Correct Answer-Division of tasks
Which is the best example of a role of the team leader? - Correct Answer-Models
excellent team behavior
Which is the best example of a role of a team member? - Correct Answer-Prepared to
fulfill their role responsibilities
What is the primary purpose of the CPR coach on a resuscitation team? - Correct
Answer-Increasing CPR quality
What are the 6 positions for high performance teams in resuscitation? - Correct Answer-
Team leader
,Airway
Timer/recorder
Compressor (rotate every 2 minutes)
Monitor/defibrillator/cpr coach
IV/IO/Medications
Which member of the high performance team has the responsibility for assigning roles
(positions)? - Correct Answer-Team leader
Which high performance team member is part of the resuscitation triangle? - Correct
Answer-Monitor/defibrillator/cpr coach
Which is an example of knowledge sharing by a team leader? - Correct Answer-Asking
for suggestions about interventions
Which is an example of summarizing and reevaluating? - Correct Answer-Increasing
monitoring of the patients condition deteriorates
Which is a step of closed-loop communication? - Correct Answer-Confirming task
completion before assigning another task
Which are examples of mutual respect? Select all that apply: - Correct Answer-
Acknowledging correctly completed tasks in a positive way
Ensuring that only one person talks at a time
What are the components of high quality CPR? Select all that apply: - Correct Answer-
Compression depth of at least 2 inches (5cm)
Switching compressors every 2 minutes
Avoiding excessive ventilation
Complete chest recoil after each compression
Interruption limited to under 10 seconds
How do you calculate the chest compression fraction (CCF)? What is ideal percentage?
- Correct Answer-Divide chest compression time by total code time. You want this at
least 60% but ideally greater than 80%
Which component of effective high-performance teams is represented by the use of
real-time feedback devices? - Correct Answer-Quality
How do you calculate Coronary Perfusion Pressure (CPP)? - Correct Answer-Aortic
diastolic pressure "minus" Right Atrial Diastolic Pressure
How do interruptions in chest compressions negatively impact survival after cardiac
arrest? - Correct Answer-Decrease coronary perfusion pressure
, What is the only intervention that can restore an organized rhythm in patients with
ventricular fibrillation (VF)? - Correct Answer-Early and effective defibrillation
How quickly does the chance of survival decline for every minute of defibrillation delay
in patients with ventricular fibrillation who do receive bystander CPR? - Correct Answer-
7-10%
What is the advantage of a systematic approach to patient assessment? - Correct
Answer-Reduces the chances of missing important signs and symptoms
What is the first step in the systematic approach to patient assessment? - Correct
Answer-Initial impression
What is the maximum amount of time you should simultaneously perform pulse and
breathing checks? - Correct Answer-10 seconds
While performing the BLS Assessment, you initiate high- quality CPR and assist
ventilation with a bag mask device. The AED does not recommend a shock.
Which action in the Primary assessment should you perform first? - Correct Answer-
Determine is the patients airway is patent
The initial assessment reveals a conscious patient. The patients airway is patent and an
advanced airway is not indicated.
Which action in the primary assessment should you perform next? - Correct Answer-
Administer oxygen as needed
Which action is part of secondary assessment of a conscious patient? - Correct Answer-
Formulate a differential diagnosis
Which of the following are the "H's" causes of reversible cardiac arrest? Select all that
apply: - Correct Answer-Hypothermia
Hypoxia
Hyperkalemia/hypokalemia
Hypovolemia
Acidosis
Which of the following are the "T" causes of reversible cardiac arrest? - Correct Answer-
Tension pneumothorax
Toxins
Cardiac tamponade
Pulmonary thrombosis
Coronary thrombosis
