SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ A patient with acute renal failure experiences cardiac arrest. Just
before the cardiac arrest, the patient's ECG showed peaked T waves.
What might be causing the patient's cardiac arrest? Answer:
Hyperkalemia
◉ A patient is experiencing respiratory distress secondary to an
exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The patient
begins to exhibit signs and symptoms of worsening respiratory
function and experiences respiratory arrest. The team intervenes,
delivering ventilations via BVM resuscitator. The team should
provide ventilations at a rate of 1 ventilation: Answer: Every 6
seconds
◉ A patient is being treated in the emergency department and is
determined to have NSTE-ACS. Invasive management is planned
based on which finding? Answer: Ventricular tachycardia
◉ A patient's ECG reveals a narrow QRS complex with a regular
rhythm, indicating a narrow-complex supraventricular
tachyarrhythmia. The patient is not showing signs of hemodynamic
, compromise. Which intervention would be initiated first if it does
not delay other interventions? Answer: Vagal maneuvers
◉ A resuscitation team is debriefing following a recent event. A
patient experienced cardiac arrest, and advanced life support was
initiated. The patient required the placement of an advanced airway
to maintain airway patency. Which statement indicates that the team
performed high-quality CPR? Answer: "We provided chest
compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute while
giving 1 ventilation every 6 seconds without pausing compressions."
◉ A patient experiences cardiac arrest, and the resuscitation team
initiates ventilations using a bag-valve-mask (BVM) resuscitator. The
development of which condition during the provision of care would
lead the team to suspect that improper BVM technique is being
used? Answer: Pneumothorax
◉ An ECG strip of a patient in the emergency department reveals the
following rhythm. Which feature would the healthcare provider
interpret as indicating atrial fibrillation? Answer: Absence of
discrete P waves and presence of irregularly irregular QRS
complexes
◉ Which statements accurately reflect the recommendations for
post-cardiac arrest neuroprognostication? Answer: -Post-cardiac
arrest neuroprognostication should be multimodal.
