ACLS PRACTICE QUESTIONS WITH 100% VERIFIED ANSWERS 2024/2025

ACLS PRACTICE QUESTIONS WITH 100% VERIFIED ANSWERS 2024/2025 What element of a system of care is represented by properly functioning resuscitation equipment? System Structure Process Patient outcome - Correct Ans->Structure What is the first link in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) chain of survival? Activation of emergency response Defibrillation Advanced resuscitation High-quality CPR - Correct Ans->Activation of emergency reponse What are signs of clinical deterioration that would prompt the activation of rapid response system? Symptomatic hypertension Seizure Unexplained agitation Diastolic blood pressure greater than 60 mm Hg or less than 100 mm Hg - Correct Ans->Symptomatic hypertension Seizure Unexplained agitation What is the primary purpose of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET)? To provide diagnostic consultation to emergency department patients To improve care for patients admitted to critical care units To improve patient outcomes by identifying and treating early clinical deterioration To provide online consultation to emergency medical services personnel in the field - Correct Ans->To improve patient outcomes by identifying and treating early clinical deterioration What happens when teams rapidly assess and intervene when patients have abnormal vital signs? Morbidity and mortality rates are maintained The number of out of hospital cardiac arrest increases The number of in hospital cardiac arrest decreases Morbidity and mortality rates increase - Correct Ans->The number of in hospital cardiac arrest decreases In addition to decreased IHCA, what are some other benefits of implementing a rapid response system? Select all that apply Decreased ICU length of stay Decreased emergency department admissions Increased ICU admissions continues... What are the components of high quality CPR? Select all that apply: Synchronous ventilation with chest compressions Avoiding excessive ventilation Compression rate around 10/min Complete chest recoil after each compression Interruptions limited to less than or equal to 10 seconds Low coronary perfusion pressure Switching compressors every 2 minutes Compression depth of at least 2 inches (5cm) - Correct Ans->Compression depth of at least 2 inches (5cm) Switching compressors every 2 minutes Avoiding excessive ventilation Complete chest recoil after each compression Interruption limited to under 10 seconds How do you calculate the chest compression fraction (CCF)? What is ideal percentage? - Correct Ans- >Divide chest compression time by total code time. You want this at least 60% but ideally greater than 80% Which component of effective high-performance teams is represented by the use of real-time feedback devices? Quality Administration Timing Coordination - Correct Ans->Quality How do you calculate Coronary Perfusion Pressure (CPP)? - Correct Ans->Aortic diastolic pressure "minus" Right Atrial Diastolic Pressure How do interruptions in chest compressions negatively impact survival after cardiac arrest? Increase intracranial pressure Decrease coronary perfusion pressure Reduce right ventricular period Increase intrathoracic pressure - Correct Ans->Decrease coronary perfusion pressure What is the only intervention that can restore an organized rhythm in patients with ventricular fibrillation (VF)? High-quality CPR Epinephrine administration Early and effective defibrillation Advanced airway insertion - Correct Ans->Early and effective defibrillation Continues...
