◉ "I've had a terrible cold with a horrible cough for the past week and
today I developed a fever."
"I've been vomiting for the past 2 days from a GI bug"
"I've been so anxious lately because I just lost my job.". Answer:
Cardiac monitoring reveals a tachyarrhythmia. The patient is
hemodynamically stable and has a regular heart rate ranging from 120 to
135 beats per minute. Which statements by the patient could the team
interpret as contributing to the tachyarrhythmia?
◉ Respiratory failure. Answer: Assessment of a patient reveals an
ETCO2 level of 55 mmHg and an arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2)
level of 88%. The provider would interpret these findings as indicative
of which condition?
◉ "We provided chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120
compressions per minute while giving 1 ventilation every 6 seconds
without pausing for compressions.". Answer: A resuscitation team is
debriefing following a recent event. A patient experienced cardiac arrest,
and advanced 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?

the event and hurries over to assess the situation. The healthcare
provider performs which assessment first?
◉ 0.15 mV. Answer: 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?
◉ Initiate transcutaneous pacing
Initiate dopamine infusion
Administer atropine. Answer: For a patient with third-degree
atrioventricular (AV) block and a blood pressure of 70/48 mmHg, what
