Q1 Question 1 of 50
Q1. A 62-year-old male collapses in a hospital waiting area. A nurse arrives within 15 seconds
and finds the patient unresponsive, not breathing normally, and without a palpable pulse. The
crash cart is 30 seconds away. According to the BLS and ACLS survey, what is the nurse's most
appropriate first action?
A. Perform a head tilt-chin lift and provide two rescue breaths before starting compressions
B. Attempt to locate a defibrillator while checking for a carotid pulse for a full 10 seconds
C. Begin chest compressions immediately at a rate of 100-120 per minute with a depth of at
least 2 inches
D. Wait for the crash cart to arrive before initiating any intervention
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
The BLS survey emphasizes immediate high-quality CPR upon confirmation of unresponsiveness and
absence of normal breathing or pulse. Compressions should begin without delay. Option B is incorrect
because delaying CPR while waiting for equipment reduces survival. Option C prioritizes airway over
circulation, which is not consistent with current C-A-B guidelines.
Q2 Question 2 of 50
Q2. A 55-year-old woman is found unresponsive in the ICU with an existing advanced airway and
continuous capnography monitoring. The EtCO2 reading is 12 mmHg during CPR. What does
this finding most likely indicate about the quality of chest compressions?
A. The compressions are adequate because an EtCO2 of 12 mmHg is within the target range for
effective CPR
B. The compressions are likely inadequate because an EtCO2 below 20 mmHg suggests poor
chest compression quality or ineffective CPR
C. The EtCO2 reading is irrelevant to compression quality and only reflects the patient's metabolic
status
D. The compressions are excessive because an EtCO2 above 10 mmHg indicates hyperventilation
during CPR
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
An EtCO2 below 20 mmHg during CPR is associated with poor chest compression quality and correlates
with lower rates of ROSC. It serves as a real-time feedback tool. Option A is wrong because 12 mmHg is
below the target threshold of at least 20 mmHg. Option C understates the value of capnography as a
CPR quality metric.
