ACLS VERSION A
1. you find an unresponsive patient who is not breathing. after activating theemergency
response system, you determine that there is no pulse. what is your next action?
ANS start chest compressions at a rate of at least 100/min.
2. you are evaluating a 58-year-old man with chest pain. the blood pressure is92/50 mm
hg, the heart rate is 92/min, the nonlabored respiratory rate is 14 breaths/min, and the
pulse oximetry reading is 97%. what assessment step ismost important now?
ANS obtaining 12-lead ecg.
3. what is the preferred method of access for epinephrine administrationduring
cardiac arrest in most patients?
ANS peripheral intravenous
4. An activated AED does not promptly analyze the rhythm. What is your nextaction?
ANS begin chest compressions.

5. You have completed 2 min of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead belowand the pt.
has no pulse. another member resumes chest compressions and an IV is in place. What
management step is your next priority?
ANS administer onemg of epinephrine
6. During a pause in CPR, you see this lead II ECG rhythm on the monitor. Thepatient has
no pulse. What is the next action?
ANS resume chest compressions
7. what is a common but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest manage-ment?
ANS prolonged interruptions of chest compressions
8. what action is a component of high-quality chest compressions?
ANS uninter-rupted compressions at a depth of 1 1/2 inches
9. Which action increases the chance of successful conversion of ventricularfibrillation?
ANS ventricular tachycardia with a pulse
