NUR 207 WVJC EXAM 3 STUDY GUIDE 2026/2027 | PRACTICE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
How much oxygen does a bag-valve mask resuscitator provide? - Correct answer✅✅ Up to 15 L/min
(100% Fi02)
What device helps a layperson during cardiac arrest? - Correct answer✅✅ AED
How often should you deliver manual ventilations during a code? - Correct answer✅✅ If not
intubated: 30 compressions, 2 breaths
If intubated: 10-12 breaths/min (1 breath every 6 seconds)
What is the first thing you do when the monitor says your patient has coded? - Correct answer✅✅
Assess the patient first and determine responsiveness
Where do you place the paddles/pads on a patient? - Correct answer✅✅ 2nd intercostal and right
sternal border
5th intercostal and left midclavicular line
During cardioversion, what part of the ECG is the shock delivered on? - Correct answer✅✅ The R wave
(The defibrillator shocks at any time, but we don't want to convert on the T wave)
What does ABCD stand for in the primary survey? - Correct answer✅✅ Airway, Breathing, Circulation,
early Defibrillation
What is the PEA algorithm? - Correct answer✅✅ -Rhythm without a pulse
, -Airway, oxygen, intubate, IV access
-ABCD with CPR
-Treat the cause
-Epinephrine
What is the Asystole algorithm? - Correct answer✅✅ -ABCD with CPR
-Airway, oxygen, intubate, IV access
-Confirm in 2 leads
-Treat cause
-Epinephrine
What is the Vfib/Vtach algorithm? - Correct answer✅✅ -ABCD, initiate CPR
-Shock, CPR, shock, CPR, shock (200J biphasic, 360J monophasic)
-IV access: epinephrine or vasopressin
-Intubate if still unstable
What is the stable tachycardia algorithm? - Correct answer✅✅ -Airway, oxygen, IV access
-Identify the stable tachycardia
-Vagal maneuvers (bear down)
-Medication: adenosine 1st dose 6mg, 2nd and 3rd 12mg, max 30 mg
-Rapid flush, IV close to heart, Causes electrical pulse
-Cardioversion
What is the unstable tachycardia algorithm? - Correct answer✅✅ -Airway, oxygen, IV access
