ACLS POST TEST
1. You are caring for a patient with a suspected stroke whose symptoms started 2
hours ago.The CT was normal with no sign of hemorrhage. Thepatient does not have
any contraindications to fibrinolytic therapy.Whichtreatment is best?
a. start fibrinolytic therapy ASAP
b. hold fibrinolytic therapy for 24 hours
c. order an echo before fibrinolytic administration
d. wait for MRI result
ANS a. start fibrinolytic therapy ASAP
2. For STEMI pt, maximum goal time for ED door-to-balloon-inflation time forPCI?
a. 150 mins
b. 180 mins
c. 120 mins
d. 90 mins
ANS 90 mins
3. Which is the recommended oral dose of ASA for a pt w/ suspected ACS?

a. 81 mg
b. 325-650 mg
c. 160-325 mg
d. 40 mg
ANS 160-325 mg
4. chest compressions during for adult rate
ANS 100-120/min
5. effect of excessive ventilation
a. decresed cardiac output
b. decreased intrathoracic pressure
c. increased perfusion pressure
d. increased venous return
ANS decreased cardiac output
6. temperature to achieve targeted temperature management after cardiacarrest
ANS 32-36C
7. 3 mins into cardiac arrest resuscitation attempt, one member of your teaminserts an
endotracheal tube while another performs chest compressions. Capnography shows a
persistent waveform & a PETCO2 of 8mmHg. What is the significance of the finding?

a. chest compression may not be effective
b. The endotrachael tube is in the esophagus
c. the team is ventilating the patient too often
d. the patient meets the criteria for termination of efforts
ANS a. chest compressionmay not be effective
8. Your patient is in cardiac arrest and has been intubated. to assess CPRquality, you
should
ANS monitor the patient's PETCO2
