ACLS: FINAL TEST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A) 10 seconds. - ANS-23. Which is the maximum interval you should allow for an interruption in
chest compressions?
A) Acute Coronary Syndrome. - ANS-41. Based on this patient's initial presentation, which
condition do you suspect led to the cardiac arrest?
A) Alert the hospital. - ANS-14. EMS providers are treating a patient with suspected stroke.
According to the Adult Suspected Stroke Algorithm, which critical action performed by the EMS
team will expedite this patient's care on arrival and reduce the time to treatment?
A) Ask for a new task or role. - ANS-32. A team member is unable to perform an assigned task

member take?
A) Chest compressions may not be effective. - ANS-30. Three minutes into a cardiac
resuscitation attempt, one member of your team inserts an endotracheal tube while another

mmHg. Which is the significance of this finding?
A) Decreased cardiac output. - ANS-19. What is an effect of excessive ventilation?
A) Epinephrine 1 mg. - ANS-43. Despite 2 Defibrillation attempts, the patient remains in
ventricular fibrillation. Which drug and dose should you administer first to this patient?
A) Initiate targeted temperature management. - ANS-45. The patient has return of spontaneous
