Pre-Assessment FULLY SOLVED UPDATED
EXAM 2025 -2026
You are evaluating the quality of CPR provided by the BLS team. Which methods could you use for this
evaluation? - ANSWERSCapnography
Chest compression fraction
Visual observation
Feedback device
An adult patient suffers cardiac arrest in bed and requires CPR. When compressing the patient's chest,
which technique promotes high-quality CPR? - ANSWERSPosition yourself so your shoulders are directly
over your hands.
Place down a CPR board or activate the system in the bed to ensure a firm CPR surface.
Place one hand on top of the other and interlace your fingers or hold them up so that they are not
resting on the patient's chest.
Adjust the bed or use a secure step or stool so you are at an appropriate working height.
You are providing care for an adult patient in respiratory arrest. Which actions demonstrate appropriate
care? - ANSWERSDeliver 1 ventilation every 6 seconds.
Continue to check breathing and pulse every 2 minutes. If pulse becomes absent, start CPR.
, You are caring for a pregnant patient (30 weeks gestation) in cardiac arrest. The patient's fundus is
above the umbilicus. Which of the following steps are appropriate? - ANSWERSActivate maternal and
neonatal resuscitation teams.
Provide continuous high-quality CPR and left uterine displacement.
Make sure AED pads do not incorporate any breast tissue.
Perform resuscitative cesarean delivery (RCD), if trained, within 5 minutes from the time of arrest.
After performing a rapid assessment on an adult patient, you determine they are unresponsive,
breathing and their pulse is present. You suspect they have a head and neck injury. What actions should
you take? - ANSWERSPerform primary assessment (Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure)
and emergent/initial interventions.
Perform secondary assessment as patient condition allows.
Reassess patient, recognize issues and provide care as needed.
The team leader assigns roles, supports the team, monitors the delivery of CPR and makes adjustments
in real time. The team members deliver expert care within their assigned roles, assist others as needed
(as long as they can maintain their own assigned responsibilities) and communicate effectively with the
team leader and each other. True or false? - ANSWERSTrue
An adult patient with an endotracheal tube (ET) in place experiences cardiac arrest and requires CPR.
Which of the following statements are true when performing high-quality CPR with an ET tube in place?
- ANSWERSThe providers perform continuous compressions without pausing for ventilations.
The providers deliver 1 ventilation every 6 seconds.
