◉ 1 A member of the resuscitation team is preparing to administer
medications intravenously to a patient in cardiac arrest. The team
member follows each medication administration with a bolus of
fluid. How much would the team member give?
Select the correct answer to this question.
5 to 10 mL
10 to 20 mL
20 to 30 mL
30 to 40 mL.
Answer: When administering medications during a cardiac arrest, all
medications administrated through the IV or intraosseous infusion
route should be followed by a 10- to 20-mL fluid bolus.
◉ The resuscitation team suspects that hyperkalemia is the cause of
cardiac arrest in a patient brought to the emergency department.
Which finding on a 12-lead ECG would confirm this suspicion?
Wide-complex ventricular rhythm and tall, peaked T waves
,ST-segment changes, T-wave inversion
Flat T waves, prominent U waves and possibly prolonged QT
intervals
Narrow-complex ventricular tachycardia.
Answer: Wide-complex ventricular rhythm and tall, peaked T waves
In hyperkalemia the patient's 12-lead ECG rhythm strip will show
wide-complex ventricular rhythm and tall, peaked T waves.
◉ 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?
Select the correct answer to this question.
3:00 a.m.
5:30 a.m.
6:00 a.m.
8:30 a.m..
Answer: 1
3:00 a.m.
, ◉ A resuscitation team is debriefing following a recent event. A
patient experienced cardiac arrest, and advanced cardiac life
support was initiated. The patient required the placement of an
advanced airway to maintain airway patency. Which statement
indicates that the team performed high-quality CPR?
Select the correct answer to this question.
"We kept the rate of chest compressions to around 100 per minute
but adjusted their depth to 1.5 inches while giving 1 ventilation
every 3 seconds."
"We delivered chest compressions at a rate of 80 to 100 per minute
to a depth of at least 2 inches and gave 1 ventilation every 6
seconds."
"We initiated chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 110 per minute
to a depth of 2.4 inches and then gave 1 ventilation every 10
seconds."
"We delivered 1 ventilation every 6 seconds and chest compressions
at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.".
