BLS Section 3 Pre-test || SCORER-APPROVED
CONTENT!!
You arrive with an AED and prepare to apply the pads while the BLS team continues to
provide CPR. You apply the pads using the anterior/lateral pad placement. correct answers -
Patient's upper right chest, below the right clavicle to the right of the sternum
- Patient's lower left chest along the midaxillary line, a few inches below the left armpit
After performing a rapid assessment on an adult patient, you determine they are
unresponsive, breathing and their pulse is present. You suspect they have a head and neck
injury. What actions should you take? correct answers 1. Perform primary assessment
(Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure) and emergent/initial interventions.
2. Perform secondary assessment as patient condition allows.
3.Reassess patient, recognize issues and provide care as needed.
You are evaluating the quality of CPR provided by the BLS team. Which methods could you
use for this evaluation? correct answers Capnography, Visual observation, Feedback device,
and Chest compression fraction.
You are caring for a pregnant patient (30 weeks gestation) in cardiac arrest. The patient's
fundus is above the umbilicus. Which of the following steps are appropriate? correct answers
1. Activate maternal and neonatal resuscitation teams.
2. Provide continuous high-quality CPR and left uterine displacement.
3. Make sure AED pads do not incorporate any breast tissue.
4. Perform resuscitative cesarean delivery (RCD), if trained, within 5 minutes from the time
of arrest.
You are providing care for an adult patient in respiratory arrest. Which actions demonstrate
appropriate care? correct answers 1. Deliver 1 ventilation every 6 seconds.
2. Continue to check breathing and pulse every 2 minutes. If pulse becomes absent, start
CPR.
You and a team of trained providers are performing CPR on an adult patient. One team
member has gone to get additional resources and the AED. Which of the following
statements are true about AED use? correct answers 1. The compressor should continue
providing compressions until the AED pads are applied and the AED prompts that it is
analyzing.
2. Team members should rotate roles every 2 minutes, which is generally during the AED
analysis, to prevent compressor fatigue.
3. After the shock is delivered and the AED prompts shock delivered, the team should
immediately resume CPR.
You and another provider are delivering ventilations with a bag-valve-mask (BVM)
resuscitator to an adult patient in cardiac arrest. Which of the following statements are
correct? correct answers 1. Bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilations should be performed as a
two-person technique to provide a better seal and ventilation volume.
2.Ensure that the chest begins to rise.
3.Seal the mask and open the airway by lifting the jaw into the mask.
4. Hold the mask in place with the E-C hand position.
