While you 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? - ANSWER
✅Determine if the patient's airway is patent
The initial assessment reveals a conscious patent. The patient's airway is patent,
and an advanced airway is not indicated. Which action is the Primary Assessment
should perform next? - ANSWER ✅Administer oxygen as needed
Which action is part of the Secondary Assessment of conscious patient? -
ANSWER ✅Formulate a differential diagnosis
Which of the following are the "H" causes of reversible cardiac arrest? -
ANSWER ✅Hypovolemia, hypoxia, acidosis, hyperkalemia/ hypokalemia,
hypothermia
Which of the following are the "T" causes of reversible cardiac arrest? -
ANSWER ✅Tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, toxins, pulmonary
thrombosis, coronary thrombosis
What is the most common symptom of myocardial ischemia and infraction? -
ANSWER ✅Retrosternal chest pain
Which demographic group experiencing acute coronary syndrome in more likely
to present without chest pain? - ANSWER ✅females
Oxygen should be delivered to a patient who has obvious signs of heart failure if
the oxygen saturation is less than --- or unknown - ANSWER ✅90%
, Obtaining a --- is the most important assessment tool for a patient displaying signs
and symptoms of acute coronary syndromes. - ANSWER ✅12 lead EKG
What is the time goal for how quickly you should complete a fibrinolytic checklist
once the patient arrives in the emergency department? - ANSWER ✅10 minutes
A patient without dyspnea has signs of acute coronary syndrome. There are no
obvious signs of heart failure. You assess a noninvasively monitored
oxyhemoglobin saturation. What is the oxygen saturation threshold below which
supplemental oxygen would be required? - ANSWER ✅90%
What are signs of clinical deterioration that would prompt the activation of a rapid
system? - ANSWER ✅Unexplained agitation, symptomatic hypertension, seizure
What blood component is acted upon by aspirin administration during the
management of a patient with acute coronary syndromes? - ANSWER ✅Platelets
Which is a contraindication to the administration of aspirin for the management of
a patient with a cute coronary syndrome? - ANSWER ✅Recent GI bleeding
Which are the elements of a system of care? - ANSWER ✅Structure, processes,
system, patient outcome
What element of a system of care is represented by properly functioning
resuscitation equipment? - ANSWER ✅Structure
Among others, which factor has been associated with improved survival in
patients with cardiac arrest? - ANSWER ✅Immediate high- quality CPR
What is the first link in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) chain of
survival? - ANSWER ✅Activation of emergency response
What are signs of clinical deterioration that would prompt the activation of a rapid
response system? - ANSWER ✅Systemic hypertension, unexplained agitation,
seizure
What is the primary purpose of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical
emergency team (MET)? - 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? - 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? - ANSWER ✅Decrease ICU length of stay, decreased in
total hospital length of stay
Which component of effective high-performance teams is represented by the use
of real-time feedback devices? - ANSWER ✅Quality
What is the main advantage of effective teamwork? - ANSWER ✅Division of
tasks
Which is the best example of a role of the team leader? - ANSWER ✅Models
excellent team behavior
Which is the best example of a role of a team member? - ANSWER ✅Prepared
to fulfill their role responsibilities
What is primary purpose of the CPR coach on a resuscitation team? - ANSWER
✅Increasing CPR quality
Which member of the high-performance team has the responsibility for assigning
roles (positions)? - ANSWER ✅Team leader
Which high-performance team member is part of the resuscitation triangle? -
ANSWER ✅Monitor/ defibrillator/ CPR coach
Which is an example of knowledge sharing by a team leader? - ANSWER
✅Asking for suggestions about interventions
Which is an example of summarizing and reevaluating? - ANSWER ✅Increasing
monitoring of the patient's condition deteriorates
Which is a step of closed-loop communication? - ANSWER ✅Confirming task
completion before assigning another task
