After<br>activating the emergency response system, you determine that<br>there is no pulse. What is your next action?<br>A. Open the airway with a head tilt\u2013chin lift.<br>B. Administer epinephrine at a dose of 1 mg\/kg.<br>C. Deliver 2 rescue breaths each over 1 second.<br>D. Start chest compressions at a rate of at least 100\/min.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are evaluating a 58-year-old man with chest pain. The blood<br>pressure is 92\/50 mm Hg, the heart rate is 92\/min, the nonlabored<br>respiratory rate is 14 breaths\/min, and the pulse oximetry reading is<br>97%. What assessment step ismost important now?<br>A. PETCO2<br>B. Chest x-ray<br>C. Laboratory testing<br>D. Obtaining a 12-lead ECG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the preferred method of access for epinephrine administration<br>duringcardiac arrest in most patients?<br>A. Intraosseous<br>B. Endotracheal<br>C. Central intravenous<br>D. Peripheral intravenous<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An activated AED does not promptly analyze the rhythm. What is your next<br>action?<br>A. Begin chest compressions.<br>B. Discontinue the resuscitation attempt.<br>C. Check all AED connections and reanalyze.<br>D. Rotate AED electrodes to an alternate position. 10<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>ACLS Exam Version A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li>You have completed 2 minutes of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead II<br>rhythm below, and the patient has no pulse. Another member of your team<br>resumes chest compressions, and an IV is in place. What management step is your<br>next priority?<br>A. Give 0.5 mg of atropine.<br>B. Insert an advanced airway.<br>C. Administer 1 mg of epinephrine.<br>D. Administer a dopamine infusion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>During a pause in CPR, you see this lead II ECG rhythm on the<br>monitor. Thepatient has no pulse. What is the next action?<br>A. Establish vascular access.<br>B. Obtain the patient\u2019s history.<br>C. Resume chest compressions.<br>D. Terminate the resuscitative effort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is a common but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management?<br>A. Failure to obtain vascular access<br>B. Prolonged periods of no ventilations<br>C. Failure to perform endotracheal intubation<br>D. Prolonged interruptions in chest compressions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which action is a component of high-quality chest compressions?<br>A. Allowing complete chest recoil<br>B. Chest compressions without ventilation<br>C. 60 to 100 compressions per minute with a 15:2 ratio<br>D. Uninterrupted compressions at a depth of 1\u00bd inches<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>ACLS Exam Version A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"9\">\n<li>Which action increases the chance of successful conversion of ventricular<br>fibrillation?<br>A. Pausing chest compressions immediately after a defibrillation attempt<br>B. Administering 4 quick ventilations immediately before a defibrillation attempt<br>C. Using manual defibrillator paddles with light pressure against the chest<br>D. Providing quality compressions immediately before a defibrillation attempt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which situation BEST describes pulseless electrical activity?<br>A. Asystole without a pulse<br>B. Sinus rhythm without a pulse<br>C. Torsades de pointes with a pulse<br>D. Ventricular tachycardia with a pulse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the BEST strategy for performing high-quality CPR on a<br>patient withan advanced airway in place?<br>A. Provide compressions and ventilations with a 15:2 ratio.<br>B. Provide compressions and ventilations with a 30:2 ratio.<br>C. Provide a single ventilation every 6 seconds during the compression pause.<br>D. Provide continuous chest compressions without pauses and 10 ventilations per<br>minute.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Three minutes after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one member of your team<br>insertsan endotracheal tube while another performs continuous chest<br>compressions. During subsequent ventilation, you notice the presence of a<br>waveform on the capnography screen and a PETCO2 level of 8 mm Hg.<br>What is the significance of this finding?<br>A. Chest compressions may not be effective.<br>B. The endotracheal tube is no longer in the trachea.<br>C. The patient meets the criteria for termination of efforts.<br>D. The team is ventilating the patient too often (hyperventilation).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The use of quantitative capnography in intubated patients<br>A. allows for monitoring of CPR quality.<br>B. measures oxygen levels at the alveoli level.<br>C. determines inspired carbon dioxide relating to cardiac output.<br>D. detects electrolyte abnormalities early in code management.<br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ACLS Exam Version AAdvanced Cardiovascular Life SupportExam Version A (50 questions)Please do not mark on this exam.
