1. how quickly does the chance of survival decline for every minute of defib-
rillation delay in patients with ventricular fibrillation ((VF) who do not receive
bystander CPR?
a) 7% to 10%
b) 5% to 6%
c) 11% to 13%
d) 3% to 4% <Ans> a
2. coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) equals aortic pressure minus
atrial diastolic pressure
a) systolic, left
b) systolic, right
c) diastolic, left
d) diastolic, right <Ans> D
3. what is an advantage of a systemic approach to patient assessment?
a) reduces the need for secondary assessment
b) standardizes treatment across systems of care
c) reduces the chances of missing important signs and symptoms
,d) permits assessment modification based on patient symptoms <Ans> C
4. what is the first step in the systematic approach to patient assessment?
a) primary assessment
b) secondary assessment
c) initial impression
d) BLS assessment <Ans> c
5. what is the maximum amount of time you should simultaneously perform
the pulse and breathing checks?
a) 15 seconds
b) 20 seconds
c) 10 seconds
d) 5 seconds <Ans> C
6. The BLS Assessment is a systematic approach to BLS for trained healthcare
providers. This approach stresses <Ans>
a) basic airway management
b) early cpr and defibrillation
c) defibrillation <Ans> b
7. while performing the BLS assessment, you initiate high-quality CPR and
assist ventilation with a bag-mask device
,the AED does not recommend a shock
which action in the primary assessment should you perform first?
, a) attach a quantitative waveform capnography device
b) perform fluid resuscitation
c) determine if the patient's airway is patent
d) assess the patient's oxygenation status <Ans> C
8. the initial assessment reveals a conscious patient
the patient's airway is patent, and an advanced airway is not indicated
which action in the primary assessment should you perform next?
a) check for the presence of a pulse
b) remove clothing to perform a physical examination
c) administer oxygen as needed
d) check for neurologic function <Ans> C
9. during CPR, chest compression fraction (CCF) should be at least % and
idealls greater than % <Ans> 60, 80
10. among others, which of the following factors has been associated with
improved survival in patients with cardiac arrest?
a) compression-only CPR
b) presence of 2 or more rescuers
c) immediate high -quality CPR
d) manual defibrillation <Ans> C
