BIOL 101 ACLS Final Exam Second try.

heck_circle Question 1 Points 1 / 1 Bradycardia in a healthy adult patient is defined as: Feedback Bradycardia is defined as a resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute. cancel Question 2 Points 0 / 1 While working a code in the ED, the respiratory therapist inserts an endotracheal tube for airway control, while continuous chest compressions are being accomplished and ACLS is being continued. During subsequent ventilations, the presence of a waveform is noticed on the capnography screen as well as a PETCO2 level of 7 mmHg. What is the significance of this finding? Feedback Monitor the quality of CPR using intra-arterial pressure (attempt to improve quality of CPR if diastolic blood pressure is 20 mmHg) or quantitative waveform capnography (attempt to improve quality of CPR if PETCO2 is 10 mmHg). check_circle Question 3 Points 1 / 1 A patient presents to you in the field in new-onset rapid A-fib on the monitor. His BP is 142/88, heart rate 182 and irregular and respirations 18, non-labored with an oxygen saturation of 98% on low-flow oxygen. Which of the following drugs can be given to aid in controlling the patient's rate? Feedback Medications that are used in the treatment of new onset atrial fibrillation include Cardizem (diltiazem), a calcium channel blocker, or metoprolol, a beta blocker. These medications are given to control rate. check_circle Question 4 Points 1 / 1 Working on the telemetry floor, you are summoned to the bedside of a patient who has suddenly gone into ventricular tachycardia on rhythm interpretation and is found to be unconscious. What is your first priority for this patient? Feedback When responding to an unresponsive patient, first ensure scene safety and then perform a carotid pulse check. check_circle Question 5 Points 1 / 1 PETCO2 levels that should be achieved in the ventilated post cardiac arrest patient are: Feedback Avoid excessive ventilation.
