A middle-aged male was found unresponsive by his wife. When you
arrive at the scene, you assess the patient and determine that he is
apneic and pulseless. You should:
A) immediately begin CPR, reassess for a carotid pulse after 60
seconds, and then apply the AED.
B) immediately apply the AED, analyze his cardiac rhythm, deliver a
shock if indicated, and begin CPR.
C) begin CPR starting with chest compressions, apply the AED as soon
as possible, and request backup.
D) perform CPR with a compression to ventilation ratio of 15:2, apply
the AED, and request backup.

, Which of the following patients would MOST likely present with vague
or unusual symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction?
A) 55-year-old obese female
B) 66-year-old male with angina
C) 72-year-old female with diabetes
D) 75-year-old male with hypertension
Feedback :
Not all patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) present
with the classic signs and symptoms one would expect. Middle-aged
men often minimize their symptoms and attribute their chest pain or
discomfort to indigestion. Some patients, however, do not experience
any pain. In particular, elderly women with diabetes may present with
vague, unusual, or atypical symptoms of AMI; their only presenting
complaint may be fatigue or syncope. Do not rule out a cardiac
problem just because a patient is not experiencing chest pain,
pressure, or discomfort; this is especially true in elderly females with
diabetes.
