ACLS (ADVANCED CARDIAC LIFE
SUPPORT) MED SURG QUIZ WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 100%
CORRECT RATED A+
Q: What are the fundamental steps to follow when managing a patient in need of
CPR?
A: First, confirm the patient is unresponsive. Perform a pulse check lasting
between 5 and 10 seconds. If no pulse is found, prioritize chest compressions (at
least 2 inches deep) starting with a set of 30. When using a bag-mask, provide 2
breaths between compression cycles, ensuring a rate of one breath every 5 to 6
seconds. ✔✔
Q: How should a provider proceed if a patient has a pulse but is not breathing?
A: Initiate rescue breathing by delivering one breath every 5 to 6 seconds, while
continuously monitoring for any changes in the patient's pulse. ✔✔
Monitor/defibrillator -ANSWER ✔✔-IV/IO access
-Advanced airway
IO access -ANSWER ✔✔Intraosseous route; drill
Capnography -ANSWER ✔✔-Monitoring of the concentration or partial pressure
of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the respiratory gases
-Detects air movement
-CO2 production from cellular metabolism
-Blood flow to the lungs to excrete CO2
-Detects immediate loss (or return) of circulation
, -If compressions are working
-CO2 greater than 15 = good
-Less than 10 = inadequate
Reversible causes of cardiac arrest (will not be on quiz) -ANSWER
✔✔Hypovolemia, Hypoxia, Hydrogen ion (acidosis), Hyper/hypokalemia,
Hypothermia
Toxins (drug overdose), Tamponade, cardiac, Tension pneumothorax, Thrombosis,
pulmonary, Thrombosis, coronary (massive myocardial infarction)
Systematic approach to arrhythimia -ANSWER ✔✔-Regular or irregular?
-Rate fast or slow?
-P-waves
-PR interval
-QRS complex
Calculating HR -ANSWER ✔✔-3 second marks
NSR -ANSWER ✔✔Regular rate - 60-100
P-wave before q QRS complex
-PRI: 0.12-0.20 sec
QRS: Less than 0.12 seconds
Sinus Brady and treatment -ANSWER ✔✔Regular rate - less than 60 bpm
P wave before every QRS complex
