ADVANCED CARDIAC LIFE SUPPORT
(ACLS) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 100%
CORRECT RATED A+
Q: Atropine ✔️✔️ A: Primarily used to treat symptomatic bradycardia; it works
by blocking vagal influence to accelerate the firing rate of the SA node.
Q: Dopamine ✔️✔️ A: Acts as a peripheral vasoconstrictor to maintain systemic
blood pressure and ensure the perfusion of vital organs during shock.
Q: Epinephrine ✔️✔️ A: Induces systemic vasoconstriction and increases heart
rate to elevate blood pressure and improve coronary perfusion during cardiac
arrest.
Q: Lidocaine ✔️✔️ A: A ventricular anti-arrhythmic used for V-Fib or Pulseless
V-Tach; it works by making the heart tissue less sensitive to the electrical impulses
that cause abnormal rhythms.
Q: Morphine ✔️✔️ A: An opioid analgesic that modifies the central nervous
system’s perception of pain, often used to reduce discomfort and anxiety during an
MI.
Q: Nitroglycerin ✔️✔️ A: A potent vasodilator used to relieve chest pain (angina);
it relaxes vascular smooth muscle, though it frequently causes headaches due to its
dilatory effects.
, Q: Sodium Bicarbonate ✔️✔️ A: An alkalizing agent administered to neutralize
metabolic acidosis, typically in cases of prolonged cardiac arrest or specific
toxicities.
Digitalis -ANSWER ✔️✔️decreased rate of conduction
tachy patients
Verapamil -ANSWER ✔️✔️converts any rhythm to normal

Race
Gender
Age
Modifiable risk factors -ANSWER ✔️✔️Hypertension
Hypercholesterolemia
