    help and determining that the patient is not breathing, you are unsure whether the patient has a
    pulse.What is your next action?
    Answer: Beginchest compressions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  17. What is an advantage of using hands-free defibrillation pads instead ofdefibrillation
    paddles?
    Answer: Hands-free pads allow for a more rapid defibrillation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  18. What action is recommended to help minimize interruptions in chest com-pressions during
    CPR?
    Answer: Continue CPR while charging the defibrillator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  19. Which action is included in the BLS survey?
    Answer: Early defibrillation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  20. Which drug and dose are recommended for the management of a patientin refractory
    ventricular fibrillation?
    Answer: Amiodarone 300mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  21. What is the appropriate interval for an interruption in chest compressions?
    Answer: 10 seconds or less<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  22. Which of the following is a sign of effective CPR?
    Answer: PETCO2 e10 mm Hg<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
