RQI 2025 ACLS TEST BANK REVIEW SET
COMPLETE Q&A 2026 GRADED A+.
⫸ To determine whether the patient is a candidate for fibrinolytic
therapy, what actions should be taken?
o Repeat the neurologic exam
o Determine family stroke history
o Order a 12-lead ECG
o Obtain an MRI of the brain for confirmation of hemorrhage.
Answer: o Repeat the neurologic exam
⫸ You find the patient's neurologic function is rapidly improving. Is
this patient still a candidate for fibrinolytic therapy?
o Yes
o No
o Not enough information. Answer: o No
⫸ Because this patient is no longer a candidate for fibrinolytic
therapy, what are your next steps for him?
o Consider giving adenosine
o Administer O2
o Support airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs_
o Begin the stroke pathway
o Admit the patient to an intensive care unit
, o Order an emergent x-ray
o Order an emergent CT scan. Answer: o Support airway, breathing,
and circulation (ABCs_
o Begin the stroke pathway
o Admit the patient to an intensive care unit
⫸ As Team Leader, you conduct the primary assessment, including
rhythm analysis, while high-quality BLS continues. What type of
rhythm is being displayed on the monitor?
o Ventricular tachycardia
o Asystole
o Supraventricular tachycardia
o Ventricular fibrillation. Answer: o Ventricular fibrillation
⫸ Based on the patient's condition, what is your next action?
o Pause CPR to establish IV/IO access
o Continue CPR while you establish IV/IO access
o Shock immediately
o Continue CPR while delivering shock. Answer: o Shock
immediately
⫸ After a shock is delivered, CPR resumes immediately. What
actions also needs to be performed at this time?
