While conducting the BLS Assessment, you should do all of the following except:

check patient responsiveness

start an IV

activate emergency response system

get an AED

6 seconds

5-6 seconds

8 to 10 seconds

The purpose of a Rapid Response Team is:

all of the above

reduce hospital costs related to expense of emergency treatment

keep floor nurses from having to be involved in emergency situations.

improve patient outcomes by identifying and treating early clinical deterioration

The most important algorithm to know for adult resuscitation is:

PEA

Tachycardia

Cardiac Arrest

Bradycardia

10.

During CPR after an advanced airway is in place, which of the following is true?

The breaths should be synchronized with the chest compressions.

One breath every 6 seconds should be given.

The goal is 20 or greater breaths per minute.

Chest compressions should be stopped while giving breaths.

11.

During the Primary Assessment when assessing (B)breathing, which of the following are correct about supplementary oxygen delivery? (Choose all that apply)

Administer 100% oxygen for cardiac and respiratory arrest patients

Other than cardiac and respiratory arrest, administer oxygen to achieve an O2 saturation value of 95-98% by pulse oximetry

For ACS keep O2 sat ≥ 90%

For post-cardiac arrest care keep O2 sat 92-98%

12.

During CPR with no advanced airway in place, the compression-to-ventilation ratio is:

20 : 2

5 : 1

30 : 2

10 : 1

13.

Which of the following is the correct sequence of steps for BLS CPR?

access care early, begin CPR, check pulse

airway, breathing, circulation

chest compressions, airway, breathing

circulation, airway, breathing

14.

Typically, suctioning attempts in ACLS situations should be:

5 seconds or less

20 seconds or less

ten seconds or less

15.

Good team dynamics requires which of the following:

all of the above

knowing one's limitations

knowledge sharing

clear roles and responsibilities

16.

Which of the following is true about chest compressions:

push hard and fast

minimize interruptions in chest compression

ensure full chest recoil

All of the above

17.

Effective resuscitation team dynamics would include all of the following statements except which one:

Team leaders and team members should have clear, closed-loop communication.

Team leaders define all roles of team members in the clinical setting.

Team members do not question team leaders orders even if doubt exists.

Team members inform the team leader when a task begins or ends.

18.

(True or False) The systematic approach with a person in cardiac arrest should include the BLS Assessment and the Primary Assessment?

True

False

19.

The goal of BLS interventions for a patient in respiratory or cardiac arrest is to:

restore or support effective circulation

all of the above

restore effective ventilation

restore effective oxygenation

20.

Which of the following is performed before the BLS Assessment?

all of the above

activate EMS and get an AED if available

tap the victim's shoulder and say "Are you alright?"

make sure the scene is safe

21.

In the Primary Assessment of the systematic approach to ACLS, the D stands for:

defibrillation

differential diagnosis

definitive care

disability

22.

When checking for a carotid pulse during CPR you should take no longer than ______seconds before restarting CPR

five

twenty

ten

fifteen

23.

Success of any resuscitation attempt is built on:

both 1 and 2

neither 1 or 2

defibrillation when required by the patients ECG rhythm

high quality CPR

24.

The most important intervention with witnessed sudden cardiac arrest is:

early activation of EMS

early defibrillation

effective chest compressions

25.

The BLS Assessment focuses on:

early CPR and early defibrillation

early use of advanced airways and drugs

proper rhythm interpretation

rapid access to emergency services

26.

After providing a shock with an AED you should:

Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions

Give a rescue breath

Check a pulse

Let the AED reanalyze the rhythm

27.

During the (C) circulation portion of the Primary Assessment, the following actions are carried out:

Check a pulse, monitor heart rhythm, begin CPR if indicated

Obtain IV access, give supplemental oxygen, secure the advanced airway, give IV/IO fluids if needed

Obtain IV access, Attach ECG leads, monitor rhythm, given medications to manage rhythm, give IV/IO fluids if needed

look, listen, and feel

28.

For conscious patients who may need more advanced assessment and management techniques, healthcare providers should conduct the Primary Assessment first?

True

False

29.

Which is not true about the oropharyngeal airway(OPA):

The OPA should only be used on a conscious patient

The OPA keeps the airway open during bag-mask ventilation.

The OPA can stimulate coughing and gagging.

The OPA can prevent the patient from biting on an ET tube.

30.

When performing BLS/ACLS you should avoid all of the following except:

prolonged rhythm analysis

keeping the patients airway open

taking too long to give rescue breaths to the patient
