Start chest compressions of at least 100 per min. - ANSWER: You find an
unresponsive pt. who is not breathing. After activating the emergency response
system, you determine there is no pulse. What is your next action?
Obtaining a 12 lead ECG. - ANSWER: You are evaluating a 58-year-old man with
chest pain. The blood pressure is 92/50 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 is most important now?
Peripheral IV - ANSWER: What is the preferred method of access for epi
administration during cardiac arrest in most pts?
Begin chest compressions. - ANSWER: An AED does not promptly analyze a
rythm. What is your next step?
Administer 1mg of epinephrine - ANSWER: You have completed 2 minutes of
CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead II rhythm below, and the patient has no
pulse. Another member of your team resumes chest compressions, and an IV is in
place. What management step is your next priority?
Resume compressions - ANSWER: During a pause in CPR, you see this lead II
ECG rhythm on the monitor. The patient has no pulse. What is the next action?
,2|Pag e
Prolonged interruptions in chest compressions. - ANSWER: What is a common
but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management?
Allowing complete chest recoil - ANSWER: Which action is a componant of
high-quality chest comressions?
Providing quality compressions immediately before a defibrillation attempt. -
ANSWER: Which action increases the chance of successful conversion of
ventricular fibrillation?
Sinus rythm without a pulse - ANSWER: Which situation BEST describes
pulseless electrical activity?
Provide continuous chest compressions without pauses and 10 ventilations per
minute. - ANSWER: What is the BEST strategy for performing high-quality CPR
on a patient with an advanced airway in place?
Chest compressions may not be effective. - ANSWER: Three minutes after
witnessing a cardiac arrest, one member of your team inserts an endotracheal tube
while another performs continuous chest compressions. During subsequent
ventilation, you notice the presence of a waveform on the capnography screen and
a PETCO2 level of 8 mm Hg. What is the significance of this finding?
allows for monitoring of CPR quality. - ANSWER: The use of quantitative
capnography in intubated patients
Consider terminating resuscitive efforts after consulting medical control. -
ANSWER: For the past 25 minutes, an EMS crew has attempted resuscitation of a
patient who originally presented in ventricular fibrillation. After the first shock, the
, 3|Pag e
ECG screen displayed asystole, which has persisted despite 2 doses of epinephrine,
a fluid bolus, and high-quality CPR. What is your next treatment?
Be sure oxygen is not blowing over the patient's chest during the shock. -
ANSWER: Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation
sequence?
Begin chest compressions. - ANSWER: During your assessment, your patient
suddenly loses consciousness. After calling for help and determining that the
patient is not breathing, you are unsure whether the patient has a pulse. What is
your next action?
Hands-free pads allow for a more rapid defibrillation. - ANSWER: What is an
advantage of using hands-free defibrillation pads instead of defibrillation paddles?
Continue CPR while charging the defibrillator. - ANSWER: What action is
recommended to help minimize interruptions in chest compressions during CPR?
Early defibrillation - ANSWER: Which action is included in the BLS survey?
Amioderone 300mg - ANSWER: Which drug and dose are recommended for the
management of a patient in refractory ventricular fibrillation?
10 seconds or less - ANSWER: What is the appropriate interval for an interruption
in chest compressions?
PETCO2 ≥10 mm Hg - ANSWER: Which of the following is a sign of effective
CPR?
