AHA ACLS Post Test exam with
questions and answers graded a+
What is acommon but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest
management? - ANSWERS>>>>>Prolonged interruptions in chest
compressions.
Which action is a componant of high-quality chest comressions?
- ANSWERS>>>>>Allowing complete chest recoil
Which action increases the chance of successful conversion of
ventricular fibrillation? - ANSWERS>>>>>Providing quality
compressions immediately before a defibrillation attempt.
Which situation BEST describes PEA? - ANSWERS>>>>>Sinus
rythm without a pulse
What is the best strategy for perfoming high-quality CPR on a
pt.with an advanced airway in place? - ANSWERS>>>>>Provide
continuous chest compressionswithout pauses and 10
ventilations per minute.
3 min after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one member of your
team inserts an ET tube while another performs continuous
chest comressions. During subsequent ventilation, you notice the
presence of a wavefom on the capnogrophy screen and a PET
, CO2 of 8 mm Hg. What is the significance of this finding? -
ANSWERS>>>>>Chest compressions may not be effective.
The use of quantitative capnography in intubated pt's does what?
- ANSWERS>>>>>Allows for monitoring CPR quality
For the past 25 min, EMS crews have attempted resuscitation of
a pt who originally presented with V-FIB. After 1st shock, the ECG
screen displayed asystole which has persisted despite 2 doses of
epi, a fluid bolus, and high quality CPR. What is your next
treatment? - ANSWERS>>>>>Consider terminating resuscitive
efforts after consulting medical control.
Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation
sequence? - ANSWERS>>>>>Be sure O2 is NOT blowing over the
pt's chest during shock.
During your assessment, your pt suddenly loses consciousness.
After calling for help and determining that the pt. is not
breathing, you are unsure whether the pt. has a pulse. What is
your next action? - ANSWERS>>>>>Begin chest compressions.
What is an advantage of using hands-free d-fib pads instead of
d-fib paddles? - ANSWERS>>>>>Hands-free allows for more
rapid d-fib.
