Complete A+ Solutions 100% Correct!!!
A pt. in respiratory failure becomes apneic but contineues to have a strong pulse. The heart rate
is dropping paridly and now shows a sinus brady rate at 30/min. What intervention has the
highest priority? - Correct Answer -Simple airway manuevers and assisted ventilations.
What is the appropriate procedure for ET suctioning after the catheter is selected? - Correct
Answer -Suction during withdrawl, but not for longer than 10 seconds.
While treating a stable pt for dizziness, a BP of 68/30, cool and clammy, you see a brady rythm
on the ECG. How do you treat this? - Correct Answer -Atropine 0.5mg
A 68 y/o female pt. experienced a sudden onset of right arm weakness. BP is 140/90, pulse is
78/min, resp rate is non-labored 14/min, 02 sat is 97%. Lead 2 in the ECG shows a sinus rythm.
What would be your next action? - Correct Answer -Cinncinati Stroke Scale
You are transporting a pt. with a positive stroke assessment. BP is 138, pulse is 80/min, resp rate
is 12/min, 02 sat is 95% room air. Glucose levels are normal and the ECG shows a sinus rhythm.
What is next. - Correct Answer -Head CT scan
, What is the proper ventilation rate for a pt. in cardiac arrest who has an advanced airway in
place? - Correct Answer -8-10 breaths per minute
A 62 y/o male pt. in the ER says his heart is beating fast. No chest pain or SOB. BP is 142/98,
pulse rate is 200/min, reps rate is 14/min, O2 sats are 95 at room air. What should be the next
evaluation? - Correct Answer -Obtain a 12 lead ECG.
You are evaluating a 48 y/o male with crushing sub-sternal pain. He is cool, pale, diaphretic, and
slow to respond to your questions. BP is 58/32, pulse is 190/min, resp rate is 18, and you are
unable to obtain an 02 sat due to no radial pulse. The ECG shows a wide complex tach rythm.
What intervention should be next? - Correct Answer -Syncronized cardioversion.
What is the initial priority for an unconscious pt. with any tachycardia on the monitor? - Correct
Answer -Determine if a pulse is present.
Which rythm requires synchronized cardioversion? - Correct Answer -Unstable SVT
What is the recommended dose for adenosine for pt's in refractory, but stable narrow complex
tachycardia? - Correct Answer -12mg
What is the usual post-cardiac arrest target range for PETCO2 who achieves return of
spontaneous circulation (ROSC)? - Correct Answer -35-40mm Hg
