PROVIDER 2025/ 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
The patient's ventilation and blood pressure have responded to treatment. What other lab or
diagnosis tests would be appropriate to consider at this time for reversible causes?
o Arterial blood oxygen
o 12-lead ECG
o Troponin test
o Arterial blood carbon dioxide
o Temperature
o Capnography - correct answer -o 12-lead ECG
o Troponin test
o Temperature
You obtain a 12-lead ECG. What is the most appropriate action to take next?
o Observe the patient
o Transfer the patient to an intensive care unit
o Discharge the patient and have her follow-up with her primary care provider
o Transfer the patient to a cardiac-cath lab for percutaneous coronary intervention - correct
answer -o Transfer the patient to a cardiac-cath lab for percutaneous coronary intervention
The patient is unable to follow verbal commands. What intervention should the team consider?
, o Obtaining another ECG
o Targeted temperature management
o Administering vasopressors
o Transferring the patient to an intensive care unit - correct answer -o Targeted temperature
management
Within the first 10 minutes, on the basis of the patient showing symptoms suggestive of
myocardial ischemia, what will your first actions include (if not completed by EMS before
arrival)?
o Obtain a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)
o Administer a blood thinner
o Administer aspirin and establish IV access
o Activate the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) team
o If SPO2 is less than 90%, start oxygen
o Assess airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs)
o Administer epinephrine 1 mg IV
o Consider nitroglycerin, morphine and a P2Y inhibitor - correct answer -o Obtain a 12-lead
electrocardiogram (ECG)
o Administer aspirin and establish IV access
o Activate the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) team
o If SPO2 is less than 90%, start oxygen
