ACLS TEST 2024/2025 WITH 50 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS RATED A+ You find an unresponsive patient who is not breathing. After activating the emergency response system, you determine there is no pulse. What is your next action? - ANSWER -Start chest compressions of at least 100 per min. You are evaluating a 58 yo man wit h chest pain. The BP is 92/50 and HR is 92/min, non-labored respiratory rate is 14 breaths/min and the pulse O2 is 97%. What assessment step is most important now? - ANSWER -Obtaining a 12 lead ECG. What is the preferred method of access for epi administra tion during cardiac arrest in most patients? - ANSWER -Peripheral IV An AED does not properly analyze a rhythm. What is your next step? - ANSWER -
Begin chest compressions. You have completed 2 min of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead below (PEA) and t he patient has no pulse. Your partner resumes chest compressions and an IV is in place. What management step is your next priority? - ANSWER -Administer 1mg of epi. During a pause in CPR, you see a narrow complex rhythm on the monitor. The patient has no p ulse. What is the next action? - ANSWER -Resume compressions. What is a common but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management? - ANSWER -Prolonged interruptions in chest compressions. Which action is a component of high -quality chest compressions ? - ANSWER -
Allowing complete chest recoil Which action increases the chance of successful conversion of ventricular fibrillation? - ANSWER -Providing quality compressions immediately before a defibrillation attempt. Which situation BEST decree PEA? - ANSW ER-Sinus rhythm without a pulse. For the past 25 min, EMS crews have attempted resuscitation of a patient who originally presented with v -fib. After the 1st shock, the ECG screen displayed systole which has persisted despite 2 doses of epi, a flood bolus, and high quality CPR. - ANSWER -Consider terminating resuscitative efforts after consulting medical control . Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation sequence? - ANSWER -Be sure O2 is NOT blowing over the patient's chest during shock. Which of the following is a sign of effective CPR? - ANSWER -PETCO2 = or >10 mmHg
