ACLS VERSION A EXAM
### 1. An activated AED does not promptly analyze the rhythm. What is your next
action?
A. Begin chest compressions.
B. Discontinue the resuscitation attempt.
C. Check all AED connections and reanalyze.
D. Rotate AED electrodes to an alternate position.
Correct Answer: C. Check all AED connections and reanalyze.
Rationale:
If an AED does not analyze promptly, check the electrode pad connections, ensure
good skin contact, and then prompt the AED to reanalyze. Starting compressions is
important but it is best to correct mechanical or connection issues first to allow
,rhythm analysis. Discontinuing is inappropriate unless the patient is obvious dead, and
rotating electrodes is not standard procedure.
### 2. You have completed 2 minutes of CPR. The ECG monitor displays ventricular
fibrillation, and the patient has no pulse. Another member of
your team resumes chest compressions, and an IV is in place. What management step
is your next priority?
A. Give 0.5 mg of atropine.
B. Insert an advanced airway.
C. Administer 1 mg of epinephrine.
D. Administer a dopamine infusion.
Correct Answer: C. Administer 1 mg of epinephrine.
, Rationale:
For refractory ventricular fibrillation after initial defibrillation and CPR, administer
epinephrine 1 mg IV/IO every 3-5 minutes. Atropine is no longer recommended in
ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Insertion of an advanced
airway can be performed but does not take priority over epinephrine administration.
Dopamine infusion is not indicated during cardiac arrest.
### 3. What is the preferred method of access for epinephrine administration during
cardiac arrest in most patients?
A. Intraosseous
B. Endotracheal
C. Central intravenous
D. Peripheral intravenous
Correct Answer: D. Peripheral intravenous
Rationale:
The preferred vascular access during cardiac arrest is peripheral intravenous (IV)
access due to its availability and rapid establishment in most patients. If peripheral IV
access is difficult or delayed, intraosseous (IO) access provides an excellent alternative
that quickly allows administration of medications. Endotracheal administration is no
longer preferred due to variable absorption and efficacy.
