ALS/ACLS - RED CROSS FINAL CERTIFIED QUALITY EXAM
NEWEST 25/26 ALREADY GRADED A+ SCORE SOLUTION
A patient with a suspected stroke arrives at the emergency
department at 7:10 p.m. The stroke team ensures that a
neurologic assessment and brain computed tomography or
magnetic resonance imaging is obtained by which time?
7:30 p.m.
A patient is brought to the emergency department by their
spouse. The spouse says, "i think it's a stroke." the stroke team
initiates a rapid stroke assessment using the national
institutes of health stroke scale. Which area(s) would the team
include in this assessment?
1. Language deficits
2. Level of consciousness
3. Visual function
A patient comes to the emergency department with a
suspected stroke. The patient is alert and oriented and
accompanied by a family member. The family member says, "i
noticed he was slurring his words and had trouble walking,
like his leg was numb." after completing the primary
assessment, the stroke team completes a secondary
,assessment. Which finding would suggest that the patient is
experiencing a condition that mimics a stroke?
Hypoglycemia
The stroke team is assessing a patient with a suspected
stroke. The patient is alert and able to carry on a conversation,
although the patient has difficulty getting the words out.
Testing confirms that the patient has had an ischemic stroke.
Based on the patient's medical history, a history of which
arrhythmia would alert the team to the patient's increased risk
for stroke?
Atrial fibrillation
A patient with an ischemic stroke arrives at the emergency
department at 2 a.m. The patient's symptoms started about
12:30 a.m. After completing the necessary assessments, the
healthcare team diagnoses an ischemic stroke, and the patient
is determined to be a candidate for fibrinolytic therapy. To
achieve the best outcomes, the team should initiate therapy for
this patient no later than by which time?
3:00 a.m.
, A patient enters the emergency department in respiratory
compromise. The team is monitoring the patient using
capnography and identifies that etco2 levels are initially 33
mmhg and later 40 mmhg. From these readings, the team
identifies that the patient is progressing in what stage of
respiratory compromise?
Respiratory distress
The ecg rhythm strip of a patient who arrived in the emergency
department complaining of dizziness, syncope and shortness
of breath reveals sinus bradycardia. When reviewing the
patient's medication history, the healthcare provider identifies
which agent(s) as a potential cause of the patient's current
condition?
1. Metoprolol
2. Verapamil
3. Digoxin
A person suddenly collapses while sitting in the sunroom of a
healthcare facility. A healthcare provider observes the event
and hurries over to assess the situation. The healthcare
provider performs which assessment first?
Rapid assessment
