ACLS Version A Study Test.

ACLS Version A Study Test. 1. you find an unresponsive patient who is not breathing. start chest compressions after activating the emergency response system, you determine that there is no pulse. what is your next action? 2. you are evaluating a 58-year-old man with chest pain. the blood pressure is 92/50 mm hg, the heart rate is 92/min, the nonlabored respiratory rate is 14 breaths/min, and the pulse oximetry reading is 97%. what assessment step is most important now? 3. what is the preferred method of access for epineph- rine administration during cardiac arrest in most pa- tients? 4. An activated AED does not promptly analyze the rhythm. What is your next action? 5. You have completed 2 min of CPR. The ECG monitor at a rate of at least 100/min. obtaining 12-lead ecg. peripheral intravenous begin chest compressions. administer one mg of epi- displays the lead below and the pt. has no pulse. anoth- nephrine er member resumes chest compressions and an IV is in place. What management step is your next priority? 6. During a pause in CPR, you see this lead II ECG rhythm resume chest compres- on the monitor. The patient has no pulse. What is the next action? 7. sions what is a common but sometimes fatal mistake in car- prolonged interruptions of diac arrest management? chest compressions 8. what action is a component of high-quality chest com- uninterrupted compres- pressions? 9. Which action increases the chance of successful con- version of ventricular fibrillation? 10. which situation BEST describes pulseless electrical ac- tivity? 11. What is the best strategy for perfoming high-quality CPR on a an advanced airway in place? 12. Three minutes after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one member of your team inserts an endotracheal tube while another performs continuous chest compres- sions. During subsequent ventilation, you notice the presence of a waveform on the capnography screen and a PETCO2 level of 8 mm Hg. What is the signifi- cance of this finding? 13. the use of quantitative capnography in intubated pa- tients sions at a depth of 1 1/2 inches ventricular tachycardia with a pulse sinus rhythm without a pulse provide continuous chest
