1. You find an unresponsive pt. who is not breathing. After
activating the emergency response system, you determine there is
no pulse. What is your next action? ans Start chest compressions of at least 100
per min.
2. You are evaluating a 58 year old man with chest pain. The BP is
92/50 and a heart rate of 92/min, non-labored respiratory rate is 14
breaths/min and the pulse O2 is 97%. What assessment step is most
important now? ans Obtaining a 12 lead ECG.
Identification of Chest Discomfort Suggestive of Ischemia
3. What is the preferred method of access for epi administration
during cardiac arrest in most pts? ans Peripheral IV
4. An AED does not promptly analyze a rythm. What is your next step?
ans Begin chest compressions.
5. You have completed 2 min of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the
lead below (PEA) and the pt. has no pulse. You partner resumes
chest compressions and an IV is in place. What management step is
your next priority? ans Administer 1mg of epinepherine
6. During a pause in CPR, you see a narrow complex rythm on the

monitor. The pt. has no pulse. What is the next action? ans Resume
compressions
7. What is acommon but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac
arrest manage-ment? ans Prolonged interruptions in chest compressions.
8. Which action is a componant of high-quality chest comressions?
ans Allowing com-plete chest recoil
9. Which action increases the chance of successful conversion of
ventricular fibrillation? ans Providing quality compressions immediately before a
defibrillation attempt.
10. Which situation BEST describes PEA? ans Sinus rythm without a pulse
11. What is the best strategy for perfoming high-quality CPR on a
pt.with an advanced airway in place? ans Provide continuous chest
compressionswithout pauses and 10 ventilations per minute.
12. 3 min after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one memeber of

ing subsequent bentilation, you notice the presence of a wavefom
on the capnogrophy screen and a PETCO2 of 8 mm Hg. What is the
significance of this finding? ans Chest compressions may not be ettective.
13. The use of quantitative capnography in intubated pt's does
what? ans Allowsfor monitoring CPR quality
14. For the past 25 min, EMS crews have attempted resuscitation
of a pt who originally presented with V-FIB. After the 1st shock, the
ECG screen displayed asystole which has persisted despite 2 doses
of epi, a fluid bolus, and high quality CPR. What is your next treatment? ans
Consider terminating resuscitive ettorts after con-sulting medical control.
15. Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation
sequence? ans Be sure O2 is NOT blowing over the pt's chest during shock.
16. During your assessment, your pt suddenly loses
consciousness. After call-ing for help and determining that the pt.
is not breathing, you are unsure whether the pt. has a pulse. What is
your next action? ans Begin chest compressions.
17. What is an advantage of using hands-free d-fib pads instead
of d-fib pad-dles? ans Hands-free allows for more rapid d-fib.
