1. While treating a stable pt for dizziness, a BP of 68/30, cool and
clammy, you see a brady rythm on the ECG. How do you treat
this? - correct answer -Atropine 0.5mg
2. A 68 y/o female pt. experienced a sudden onset of right arm
weakness. BP is 140/90, pulse is 78/min, resp rate is non-
labored 14/min, 02 sat is 97%. Lead 2 in the ECG shows a
sinus rythm. What would be your next action? - correct answer
-Cinncinati Stroke Scale
3. You are transporting a pt. with a positive stroke assessment.
BP is 138, pulse is 80/min, resp rate is 12/min, 02 sat is 95%
room air. Glucose levels are normal and the ECG shows a
sinus rythm. What is next. - correct answer -Head CT scan
4. What is the proper ventilation rate for a pt. in cardiac arrest who

next evaluation? - correct answer -Obtain a 12 lead ECG.
6. You are evaluating a 48 y/o male with crushing sub-sternal
pain. He is cool, pale, diaphretic, and slow to respond to your
questions. BP is 58/32, pulse is 190/min, resp rate is 18, and
you are unable to obtain an 02 sat due to no radial pulse. The
ECG shows a wide complex tach rythm. What intervention
should be next? - correct answer -Syncronized cardioversion.
7. What is the initial priority for an unconscious pt. with any
