Any organized rhythm without a pulse is defined as pulseless electrical activity (PEA). -
-PRECISE ANS---True
Synchronized cardioversion is appropriate for treating an unknown wide complex
tachycardia. --PRECISE ANS---True
The aorta is the wall that separates the ventricles of the heart. --PRECISE ANS---False
The most effective treatment for ventricular fibrillation is defibrillation. --PRECISE ANS---
True
An individual should be cleared-Ñ prior to a shock only when convenient. --PRECISE
ANS--- False
PEA and asystole are considered non-shockable rhythms and follow the same ACLS
algorithm. --PRECISE ANS---True
Transcutaneous pacing should be used on an individual with bradycardia and
inadequate perfusion if atropine is ineffective and the individual is exhibiting severe
symptoms. --PRECISE ANS---True
Low blood pressure may be an indication of hemodynamic instability. --PRECISE ANS---
True
Urgent defibrillation is essential for survival in the management of acute strokes. -
-PRECISE ANS---False
Fibrinolytic therapy within three hours (in some cases 4.5 hours) of first onset of
symptoms is the standard when treating ischemic stroke. --PRECISE ANS---True
100% oxygen is acceptable for early intervention but not for extended periods of time. -
,-PRECISE ANS---True
In a suspected acute stroke individual, you must always immediately obtain IV access. -
-PRECISE ANS---False
There is never a pulse associated with VF; therefore, you should follow the PEA
algorithm with individuals in VF. --PRECISE ANS---False
, If the AED advises no shock, you should still defibrillate because defibrillation often
restarts the heart with no pulse. --PRECISE ANS---False
If transcutaneous pacing fails, there are no other options to consider. --PRECISE ANS---
False
