ACLS (ADVANCED CARDIAC LIFE
SUPPORT): PRINCIPLES & PRACTICE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 100%
CORRECT!!!
Q: What is the proper procedure for administering medications intravenously
during a cardiac arrest? ✔️✔️ A: Drugs should be delivered via rapid IV bolus and
immediately followed by a 20 mL fluid flush to ensure the medication reaches the
central circulation.
Q: If a 65-year-old patient is unresponsive, breathless, and pulseless, and the
monitor shows a wide, regular, rapid QRS complex, what is the rhythm and the
intervention? ✔️✔️ A: The rhythm is Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), which is
classified as a "shockable" rhythm in a pulseless patient.
Q: Within the framework of the primary ABCD survey, what does the letter "D"
represent? ✔️✔️ A: Defibrillation. This refers to the immediate assessment of the
heart rhythm and the delivery of an electrical shock if indicated.
Q: Identify the most frequent side effects for the following ACLS medications:
✔️✔️
Amiodarone: Low heart rate (bradycardia) and low blood pressure
(hypotension).
Magnesium Sulfate: Physical flushing and diaphoresis (sweating).
Adenosine: Feelings of chest palpitations or transient chest pressure.
Sodium Bicarbonate: Development of metabolic alkalosis.
Adrenaline (Epinephrine): Rapid heart rate (tachycardia) and the potential
to trigger Ventricular Tachycardia.
