ACLS POST-TEST EXAM A

You have completed 2 minutes of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead II rhythm shown here, and the patient has no pulse. Another member of your team resumes chest compressions, and an IV is in place. Which do you do next? - ANSWER-Give epinephrine 1 mg IV

A 52-year-old man is complaining of palpitations that came on suddenly after walking up a short flight of stairs. His symptoms have been present for about 20 minutes. He denies chest pain and is not short of breath. His skin is warm and dry; breath sounds are clear. His blood pressure (BP) is 144/88 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), his heart rate is 186 beats per minute (beats/min), and his ventilatory rate is 18 breaths/min. The cardiac monitor reveals the rhythm here. Vascular access has been established. Which of the following medications is most appropriate in this situation?

• Dopamine or sotalol
• Furosemide or atropine
• Nitroglycerin (NTG) or morphine
• Procainamide or amiodarone
• Procainamide or amiodarone 1 / 4

A 48-year-old man became unresponsive shortly after presenting to you with nausea and generalized chest discomfort. You observe gasping breathing and are

unsure if you feel a pulse. You should know:

• Call for help and begin chest compressions.
• Wait until breathing stops and then check again for a pulse.
• Begin chest compressions only if you are certain a pulse is absent.
• Observe the patient for 2 minutes, then reassess his breathing and pulse.
• Call for help and begin chest compressions.

An 84-year-old man presents with an acute onset of altered mental status. The cardiac monitor shows the rhythm here. The patient's BP is 58/30 mm Hg andhis ventilatory rate is 14 breaths/min. His skin is cool, moist, and pale. His blood oxygen saturation level (SpO2) on room air is 95%. An IV has been established.

On the basis of the information provided, your best course of action will be to:

• Prepare for transcutaneous pacing.
• Give amiodarone 300 mg IV push.
• Give epinephrine 1 mg IV bolus and reassess.
• Observe the patient and monitor for signs of deterioration.
• Prepare for transcutaneous pacing.

A responder is caring for a patient with a history of congestive heart failure (CHF).The patient is experiencing shortness of breath, a blood pressure (BP) of 68/50 mmHg, and a heart rate of 190/min. The patient's lead II ECG is displayed here.Which best characterizes this patient's rhythm? - ANSWER-Unstable supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)

Which of the following is true regarding this 12-lead ECG?

• This 12-lead reveals no significant findings.
• STE is present in leads V1 to V4. An anterior STEMI is suspected.
• STE is present in leads I, aVR, and V6. A lateral STEMI is suspected.
• STD is present in leads III and aVF. An inferior STEMI is suspected.
• STE is present in leads V1 to V4. An anterior STEMI is suspected.

Your general impression of a 78-year-old woman reveals that her eyes are closed, she is not moving, you can see no rise and fall of her chest or abdomen, and her skincolor is pale. When you arrive at the patient's side, you confirm that she is

unresponsive. Your best action in this situation will be to:

• Open her airway and give two breaths. 3 / 4

• Apply an automated external defibrillator (AED).
• Assess breathing and determine whether she has a pulse.
• Prepare the necessary equipment to insert an advanced airway.
• Assess breathing and determine whether she has a pulse.

Which of the following is the most likely complication of inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI)?

• Cardiogenic shock
• Ventricular rupture
• Bradydysrhythmias
• Tachydysrhythmias
• Bradydysrhythmias

A 60-year-old woman has suffered a cardiac arrest. A health care professional trained in endotracheal intubation has intubated the patient. Which of the following findings would indicate inadvertent esophageal intubation?

• Jugular vein distention
• Subcutaneous emphysema
• Gurgling sounds heard over the epigastrium
• Breath sounds heard on only one side of the chest
• Gurgling sounds heard over the epigastrium

Hypotension (ie, a systolic BP of less than 90 mm Hg) after the return of

spontaneous circulation (ROSC) may necessitate the use of:

• Fluid boluses and isoproterenol.
• Procainamide, epinephrine, or dopamine.
• Epinephrine, dopamine, or norepinephrine.
• Fluid boluses, procainamide, and isoproterenol.
• Epinephrine, dopamine, or norepinephrine.

Which of the following is incorrect with regard to a postevent debriefing?

• The facilitator should use open-ended questions to encourage discussion.
• Team members are encouraged to identify lessons learned in a nonpunitive

environment.

• The gather phase of the debriefing includes a comparison of the team's actions

with current resuscitation algorithms.
