ACLS AHA QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS 100% CORRECT!!!
Q: What specific actions define the delivery of high-quality CPR? ✔️✔️ A:
Adequate Depth: Press down at least 2 inches (5 cm) into the chest.
Full Recoil: Allow the chest to return completely to its neutral position
between pushes to let the heart refill.
Minimize Pauses: Keep any breaks in compressions to less than 10 seconds.
Rotate Roles: Switch the person performing compressions every 2 minutes
to prevent fatigue.
Controlled Breathing: Avoid over-ventilating the patient to maintain
proper intrathoracic pressure.
Q: If a 12-lead ECG displays an ST-segment elevation of 2 mm in leads II, III, and
aVF, how should the clinician interpret these results? ✔️✔️ A: This should be
classified as an ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
Specifically, elevation in those leads indicates an Inferior Wall MI
Within the first 10 minutes on the basis of patient showing symptoms suggestive of
a MI what will your first actions include -ANSWER ✔️✔️-Assess airway, breathing
circulation
-Administer aspirin and establish IV access
- Obtain a 12 lead ECG
- If SPO2 is less than 90% start oxygen
- Activate the stemi Tim
- Consider nitroglycerin, morphine and a P2Y inhibitor
, What is your goal for PCI when treating this patient? -ANSWER ✔️✔️First medical
contact - to Dash balloon inflation time of 90 minutes
Which clinical, finding represents a contraindication to the administration of
nitroglycerin? -ANSWER ✔️✔️Confirmed, right ventricular infection
What is the maximum time from last known normal when endovascular therapy
can be performed? -ANSWER ✔️✔️24 hours
As part of the neurologic assessment you perform a physical and neurologic
examination. What are some of the general questions you need to ask? -ANSWER
✔️✔️When did symptoms start? Do you take medications? What other symptoms do
you have? Do you have any allergies?
Within 45 minutes the neuroimaging interpretation of the CT scan of the brain
suggests an acute ischemic infection. There are no signs of hemorrhage or mass
lesions. Is this patient a potential candidate for fibrinolytic therapy? -ANSWER
✔️✔️Yes
The patient's vital signs show HR 92/min, RR 14/min, BP 130/86 mm Hg, SpO2
97%, and atrial fib on the monitor. What additional assessment and stabilization
activities should be completed within the first 10 minutes after the patient's arrival?
(Stroke) -ANSWER ✔️✔️- Order an emergent CT scan or MRI of the brain and
review patient history
- Check glucose
- Establish IV access
- Activate the stroke team
- Complete neurologic screening
