ACLS SYSTEMS OF CARE QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS 100% CORRECT RATED A+
Q: What are the essential stages within the Adult Chain of Survival?
A: The chain consists of: quickly identifying cardiac arrest and triggering
emergency services; performing high-quality CPR with a focus on compressions;
providing fast defibrillation; administering professional advanced life support; and
implementing comprehensive post-cardiac arrest recovery care. ✔✔
Q: What do the medical acronyms MET and RRT represent?
A: MET refers to Medical Emergency Teams, and RRT refers to Rapid Response
Teams. ✔✔
Q: What is the primary objective of deploying METs and RRTs in a clinical
setting?
A: Their goal is to boost patient recovery rates by detecting and managing signs of
physical decline before a major crisis occurs. ✔✔
Q: What is the target core temperature range and duration for adult patients who
achieve Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC)?
A: Patients should be kept at a temperature between 32°C and 34°C for a period of
12 to 24 hours. ✔✔
Q: Following cardiac arrest, what is the minimum threshold for arterial oxygen
saturation that providers should aim for?
A: A minimum saturation level of 94% should be maintained. ✔✔
Q: What are the risks associated with providing excessive ventilation during post-
cardiac arrest care?
A: Over-ventilation can cause harmful hemodynamic shifts due to high
intrathoracic pressure and may lead to reduced blood flow to the brain as
PETCO2levels drop. ✔✔
Q: What are the recommended respiratory and gas exchange targets during post-
cardiac arrest stabilization?
A: The breathing rate should be 10–12 breaths per minute, with a PETCO2between
35–40 mmHg and/or PaCO2levels between 40–45 mmHg. ✔✔
