ACTUAL EXAM.
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?
A systematic approach to assessment is necessary. The healthcare provider
should first perform a rapid assessment. A rapid assessment is a quick visual
survey to ensure safety, to form an initial impression about the patient's
condition, and to check for responsiveness, breathing and a pulse if the patient
appears to be unresponsive. This would be followed by a primary assessment and
then a secondary assessment.
A 35-year-old female patient's ECG is consistent with STEMI. The ECG reveals a
new ST- segment elevation at the J point in leads V2 and V3 of at least which size?
New ST-segment elevation at the J point in leads V2 and V3 of at least 0.15 mV
(1.5 mm) in women 40 years or younger is considered diagnostic of STEMI.
An ECG strip of a patient in the emergency department reveals the following
rhythm. Which feature would the healthcare provider interpret as indicating atrial
fibrillation?
,ACLS FINAL
The two key features of atrial fibrillation on ECG are the absence of discrete P
waves and the presence of irregularly irregular QRS complexes.
, ACLS FINAL
A patient presents to the emergency department with mild to moderate recurrent
chest pain, without any nausea or vomiting. A 12-lead ECG is obtained and shows
ST-segment depression with transient T-wave elevation indicative of NSTE-ACS.
Cardiac enzyme levels are obtained and are not elevated. These findings suggest
which condition?
A patient who presents with ECG findings consistent with NSTE-ACS and does not
have elevated cardiac serum markers is to be considered as having unstable
angina.
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?
In a five-electrode cardiac monitoring system, the green electrode should be
placed on the lower right abdomen.
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?
When an advanced airway has been placed in a patient who is in cardiac arrest,
compressions and ventilations are delivered continuously with no interruptions.
One provider delivers 1 ventilation every 6 seconds, while the second provider
performs compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
A patient's capnogram reveals the following waveform. Which segment would the
healthcare provider interpret as reflecting the beginning of exhalation?
The A-B segment is the respiratory baseline that represents the beginning of
exhalation.
