ACLS Study Guide Complete Test.
1. A 68-year-old woman presents with light-headedness, Synchronized
cardiover-
nausea, and chest discomfort. Your assessment sion
finds her awake and responsive but ill-
appearing, pale, and goodly disphorttie. Her
radial is weak, thready, and fast. You are
unable to obtain a blood pressure. She has no
obvious dependent edema, and her neck veins
are flat. Her lung sounds are equal, with
moderate rales present bilaterally. The
cardiac monitor shows the rhythm seen here.
After your initial assessment of this patient,
which in- tervention should be performed
next?
2. Which type of atrioventricular (AV) block best describes Second
degree type II
this rhythm?
3. Your patient is in cardiac arrest and has been Monitor the patient's
intubat- ed. To assess CPR quality, which
Pet- CO2
should you do?
4. Which facility is the most appropriate EMS destination Coronary
reperfusion-ca-
for a patient with sudden cardiac arrest who pable medical center
achieved return a spontaneous circulation in
the field?
Agonal gasps
5. Which of the following signs is a likely
indicator of cardiac arrest in an
unresponsive patient?

degree atrioven-
this rhythm? tricular (AV) block type I

7. To properly ventilate a patient with a Once every 5 to 6
perfusing rhythm, how often do you seconds
squeeze the bag?
8. In addition to clinical assessment, which is the Continuous waveform
most
reliable method to confirm and monitor correct place-
capnography
ment of an endotracheal (ET) tube?
9. You are caring for a patient with a suspected stroke Start fibrinolytic
therapy as
whose symptoms started 2 hours ago. The CT scan was soon as
possible
normal, with no signs of hemorrhage. The patient
does not have any contraindications to fibrinolytic
therapy. Which treatment approach is best for
this patient?
10. Which best describes this rhythm? Third-degree
atrioventric- ular
block
11. What is the recommended range from which a temper- 32 degrees
celsius to 36 ature should be selected and maintained constantly
to degrees celsius achieve targeted management after cardiac
arrest?
12. Which is the recommended first intravenous (IV) ventricular
dose of amiodarone for a patient with refractory fibrillation?
