PALS PRECOURSE CERTIFICATION SCRIPT
2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
◉Identify the rhythm. Answer: Normal Sinus Rhythm
◉Identify the rhythm. Answer: VF with successful defibrillation and
resumption of organized rhythm
◉Identify the rhythm. Answer: SVT converting to sinus rhythm after
adenosine administration
◉Identify the rhythm. Answer: Torsades de pointes
◉Identify the rhythm. Answer: Supreaventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
◉Identify the rhythm. Answer: Sinus Tachycardia
◉Identify the rhythm. Answer: Sinus Bradycardis
◉Identify the rhythm. Answer: Asystole
, ◉Identify the rhythm. Answer: Wide-Complex Tachycardia
◉Identify the rhythm. Answer: Pulseless Electrical Activity
◉Which statement is correct about endotracheal drug
administration during resuscitative efforts for pediatric
patients? Answer: It is the least desirable route of administration
◉Which oxygen delivery system most reliably delivers a high (90%
or greater) concentration of inspired oxygen to a 7-year-old child?
Answer: Nonrebreathing face mask
◉Paramedics are called to the home of a 1-year-old child. Their
initial assessment reveals a child who responds only to painful
stimuli and has irregular breathing, faint central pulses, bruises over
the abdomen, abdominal distention, and cyanosis. Bag-mask
ventilation with 100% oxygen is initiated. The child's heart rate is
36/min. Peripheral pulses cannot be palpated, and central pulses are
barely palpable. The cardiac monitor shows sinus bradycardia. Two-
rescuer CPR is started. Upon arrival to the emergency department,
the child is intubated and ventilated with 100% oxygen, and IV
access is established. The heart rate is now 150/min with weak
central pulses but no distal pulses. Systolic blood pressure is 74 mm
Hg. Which intervention should be provided next? Answer: Rapid
bolus of 20 mL/kg of isotonic crystalloid
