a cardiac arrest situation.
Establishing IV or IO access is only needed after the
patient regains consciousness.
Establishing IV or IO access is unnecessary if CPR is being
performed.
Establishing IV or IO access is primarily for fluid
resuscitation.
Establishing IV or IO access allows for the rapid
administration of medications that can improve patient
outcomes.
2. A patient has achieved ROSC after cardiac arrest but is

administer
epinephrine, what would be the appropriate dosing strategy?
0.1 to 0.5 mcg/kg per minute IV infusion

the left arm. The patient is diaphoretic, with associated
shortness of breath. The blood pressure is 130/88 mmHg, the
