A patient with an ischemic stroke arrives at the emergency department at 2 a.m.
The patient's symptoms started about 12:30 a.m. After completing the necessary
assessments, the healthcare team diagnoses an ischemic stroke, and the patient is
determined to be a candidate for fibrinolytic therapy. To achieve the best
outcomes, the team should initiate therapy for this patient no later than by which
time? - ANSWER> 3:00 a.m.
A patient enters the emergency department in respiratory compromise. The team is
monitoring the patient using capnography and identifies that ETCO2 levels are
initially 33 mmHg and later 40 mmHg. From these readings, the team identifies
that the patient is progressing in what stage of respiratory compromise? -
ANSWER> Respiratory distress
The ECG rhythm strip of a patient who arrived in the emergency department
complaining of dizziness, syncope and shortness of breath reveals sinus
bradycardia. When reviewing the patient's medication history, the healthcare
provider identifies which agent(s) as a potential cause of the patient's current
condition? - ANSWER> 1. Metoprolol
2. Verapamil
3. Digoxin
A person suddenly collapses while sitting in the sunroom of a healthcare facility. A
healthcare provider observes the event and hurries over to assess the situation. The
healthcare provider performs which assessment first? - ANSWER> Rapid
assessment
, P a g e |2
A healthcare provider initiates ventilations to ensure adequate breathing and
oxygenation. While ventilations are being performed, capnography is established
to evaluate the adequacy of the ventilations. The healthcare provider determines
that ventilations are adequate based on which end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2)
value? - ANSWER> 35 to 45 mmHg
A healthcare provider is establishing cardiac monitoring using a five-electrode
system. The healthcare provider demonstrates proper use of the system by placing
the green electrode in which location? - ANSWER> On the lower right abdomen
A patient experiences cardiac arrest, and the resuscitation team initiates
ventilations using a bag-valve-mask (BVM) resuscitator. The development of
which condition during the provision of care would lead the team to suspect that
improper BVM technique is being used? - ANSWER> Pneumothorax
A resuscitation team is debriefing following a recent event. A patient experienced
cardiac arrest, and advanced cardiac life support was initiated. The patient required
the placement of an advanced airway to maintain airway patency. Which statement
indicates that the team performed high-quality CPR? - ANSWER> "We delivered
1 ventilation every 6 seconds and chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120
compressions per minute."
Assessment of a patient reveals an ETCO2 level of 55 mmHg and an arterial
oxygen saturation (SaO2) level of 88%. The provider would interpret these
findings as indicative of which condition? - ANSWER> Respiratory failure
A patient's capnogram reveals the following waveform. Which segment would the
healthcare provider interpret as reflecting the beginning of exhalation? -
ANSWER> A-B
