American Red Cross BLS Final Assessment
1. "I'll go get the AED.": While orienting a new medical assistant to the facility,
you find a patient who is unresponsive in the exam room. You yell to the medical
assistant, "Go get the AED!" Which response by the medical assistant demonstrates
closed-loop communication?
2. Cycles of 5 back blows and 5 abdominal thrusts: The nurse assesses a
responsive adult and determines she is choking. Which intervention should the nurse
implement?
3. Early high-quality CPR: After immediately initiating the emergency response
system, what is the next link in the Adult In-Hospital Cardiac Chain of Survival?
4. Use the adult AED pads.: You are providing high-quality CPR on a 6-year-old
patient who weighs 44 pounds. The AED arrives. It does not have a pediatric setting
and includes only adult AED pads. What should you do?
5. Immediately: You have assessed your patient and recognized that they are in
cardiac arrest. You should begin CPR .
6. Check for responsiveness.: You enter Ms. Evers's room and notice she is
slumped over in her chair and appears unresponsive and cyanotic. You do not see
signs of life-threatening bleeding. Which is the next appropriate action?
7. 2: A well-organized team response when performing high-quality CPR includes
ensuring that providers switch off performing compressions every minutes.
8. At the carotid or femoral artery: You and two nurses have been performing
CPR on a 72-year-old patient, Ben Phillips. When Mr. Phillips shows signs of ROSC,
where should you perform the pulse check?
9. Modified jaw-thrust maneuver: You suspect that an unresponsive patient has
sustained a neck injury. Which technique should you use to open the patient's
airway?
10. Standing or kneeling at the side of the infant with your hips at a slight
angle, provide chest compressions using the encircling thumbs technique and
deliver ventilations with a pocket mask or face shield.: You are alone caring for
a 4-month-old infant who has gone into cardiac arrest. Which is the most effective
CPR technique to perform until help arrives?
11. Critical thinking: You perform a rapid assessment and determine that your
patient is experiencing cardiac arrest. On the basis of your assessment findings,
you begin CPR to improve the patient's chances of survival. Which term refers to
clearly and rationally identifying the connection between information and actions?
12. 1 ventilation every 2 to 3 seconds: What is the correct rate of ventilation
delivery for a child or infant in respiratory arrest or failure?
13. A two-person technique is the preferred methodology for bag-valve-mask
(BVM) ventilations as it provides better seal and ventilation volume.: Which
statement about bag-valve-mask (BVM) resuscitators is true?
1/2
