ACLS: PROMED TEST 2026
1. Select the one syndrome listed below that is not a degree in the
progression of coronary artery occlusion.
2. Correct Answer : Stable angina (SA)
3. Which of the following is used to categorize patients with
suspected acute coronary syndrome?
4. Correct Answer : 12-lead ECG to determine if an ST-segment elevation MI is present
5. The BLS Assessment places emphasis on early
6. Correct Answer : Correct Answer : CPR and defibrillation
7. The first step in the PEA algorithm is defibrillation.
8. Correct Answer : False - administer chest compressions and oxygen first
9. Which of the following will providers be able to do after
completing the ACLS course?
10. Correct Answer : Utilize the Basic Life Support Assessment
Provide ettective cardiopulmonary
resuscitation Provide immediate post-
cardiac arrest care Recognize and initiate
early management of ACS All of the above
11. An AED has arrived at the scene. You turn it on and place the
pads on the patient. The AED doesn't promptly analyze the rhythm.

, 12. Correct Answer : Correct Answer : Resume CPR
13. Vasopressin should only be given after the first dose of epinephrine
in the asystole pathway of the adult cardiac arrest algorithm.
14. Correct Answer : False - combined use of vaso- pressin and epinephrine is no
longer recommended and vasopressin has been removed from the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm
2015 Update
15. In adult tachycardia without signs and symptoms of cardiovascular
instability, if the QRS complex is <0.12 seconds, vagal maneuvers
are recommended to help slow the heart rate.
16. Correct Answer : True - vagal maneuvers are recommended, along with adenosine (if
regular rhythm) and b-blocker/Calcium channel blocker
17. PETCO2 is Correct Answer : Correct Answer : Monitored by capnography
Is the partial pressure of CO2 in exhaled air at the end of the exhalation phase
Is an ettective way to monitor ventilation when performing endotracheal
intubation All of the above
18. Which of the following is indicated to minimize interruptions in
chest com- pressions? Correct Answer : Avoid prolonged rhythm analysis.
19. Vasopressin is more effective than epinephrine in cardiac arrest.
Correct Answer : False - combined use of vasopressin and epinephrine is no longer
recommended and vasopressin has been removed from the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm 2015
Update.
