Question: During a debriefing session following a cardiac arrest, which
description of the team's technique confirms they delivered high-quality CPR after
an advanced airway was placed?
Answer: "We provided chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120
compressions per minute while giving 1 ventilation every 6 seconds without
pausing for compressions." Once an advanced airway is in place, compressions
and ventilations are delivered asynchronously (continuously) to maximize
perfusion and oxygenation.
✔️✔️
Question: If a patient is responsive but experiencing a severe airway obstruction
(choking), which intervention should the provider implement first?
Answer: Back blows. In many updated emergency protocols (such as those for
healthcare providers), a sequence of back blows is recommended as the initial
attempt to dislodge a foreign object before moving to abdominal thrusts.
A patient enters the emergency department in respiratory compromise. The team is
monitoring the patient using capnography and identifies that ETCO2 levels are
initially 33 mmHg and later 40 mmHg. From these readings, the team identifies
that the patient is progressing in what stage of respiratory compromise? -ANSWER
✔️✔️Respiratory distress
Cardiac monitoring reveals a tachyarrhythmia. The patient is hemodynamically
stable and has a regular heart rate ranging from 120 to 135 beats per minute.
Which statements by the patient could the team interpret as contributing to the
tachyarrhythmia? -ANSWER ✔️✔️"I've had a terrible cold with a horrible cough for
the past week and today I developed a fever."
, "I've been vomiting for the past 2 days from a GI bug"
"I've been so anxious lately because I just lost my job."
Assessment of a patient reveals an ETCO2 level of 55 mmHg and an arterial
oxygen saturation (SaO2) level of 88%. The provider would interpret these
findings as indicative of which condition? -ANSWER ✔️✔️Respiratory failure
A person suddenly collapses while sitting in the sunroom of a healthcare facility. A
healthcare provider observes the event and hurries over to assess the situation. The
healthcare provider performs which assessment first? -ANSWER ✔️✔️Rapid
assessment
A 35-year-old female patient's ECG is consistent with STEMI. The ECG reveals a
new ST-segment elevation at the J point in leads V2 and V3 of at least which size?
-ANSWER ✔️✔️0.15 mV
For a patient with third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block and a blood pressure of
70/48 mmHg, what interventions should be considered? -ANSWER ✔️✔️Initiate
transcutaneous pacing
Initiate dopamine infusion
Administer atropine
Which areas are evaluated using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale
(NIHSS)? -ANSWER ✔️✔️Language deficits
