ADVANCED CARDIOVASCULAR LIFE
SUPPORT (ACLS) FINAL – FULL 2025
MULTIPLE CHOICE REVIEW WITH
ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Description:
This complete review guide supports students and healthcare professionals
preparing for the 2025 ACLS certification final exam. It covers 50 multiple-
choice questions with correct answers and explanations aligned with AHA
guidelines. Topics include cardiac arrest management, airway and ventilation
strategies, ECG rhythm recognition, pharmacology, post-resuscitation care,
and stroke protocols, ensuring comprehensive preparation for ACLS scenarios.
Keywords:
ACLS final review, advanced cardiac life support, ECG rhythm identification,
cardiac arrest management, CPR quality, stroke treatment protocol, waveform
capnography, targeted temperature management, synchronized cardioversion,
epinephrine dosage, amiodarone administration, supraventricular
tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, post-cardiac arrest care, ACLS algorithm
steps, chest compression rate, atropine use, airway management, ROSC
protocols, acute coronary syndrome
