ALS - Cardiac Arrest and
Post-Cardiac Arrest Care
LATEST 2025-2026 EXAM
WITH QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT VERIFIED
ANSWERS GRADED A+
A 32-year-old patient (30 weeks' gestation) goes into cardiac arrest. The fundus is
above the umbilicus. How can team members maximize the effectiveness of chest
compressions for this patient? - ANSWER-Position the patient in the supine position
and provide manual left uterine displacement
The underlying cause of primary pulseless electrical activity (PEA) can be related to
inadequate volume, impaired myocardial contractility or both.
Select the correct answer to this question.
True
False - ANSWER-True
A 28-year-old patient (27 weeks' gestation) was admitted to the intensive care unit for
treatment of pneumonia-related sepsis. The patient goes into cardiac arrest. When
should resuscitative cesarean delivery (RCD) be performed? - ANSWER-Within 5
minutes from the time of arrest
, What assessments may be included as part of a multimodal approach to
neuroprognostication in a comatose post-cardiac arrest patient?
Select all correct options that apply.

What initial interventions are appropriate for the initial stabilization of a patient who has
achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)?
Select all correct options that apply.
Establish electroencephalographic monitoring
Support ventilations to keep carbon dioxide levels in physiologic range

they perform immediately?
Select all correct options that apply.
Ensure that high-quality CPR is in progress.
Obtain patient history.
Identify arrest rhythm on monitor.
Insert an advanced airway. - ANSWER-Ensure that high-quality CPR is in progress.
Identify arrest rhythm on monitor.
A post-cardiac arrest patient who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest is unable to
follow verbal commands. Which interventions would be appropriate for this patient?
Select all correct options that apply.
