ACLS PALS BLS AHA Healthcare Renewal
Exam 2026/2027 – Complete Exam-Style
Questions | 100% Verified – Pass
Guaranteed – A+ Graded
1. What is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio for a single rescuer in
adult BLS?
A) 15:2
B) 30:2
C) 30:1
D) 15:1
*Rationale: AHA 2020 guidelines recommend 30:2 for single-rescuer adult CPR to
maximize coronary perfusion pressure while allowing adequate ventilation.*
2. For an unresponsive adult with agonal gasps and no pulse, your first action
is:
A) Check for responsiveness again
B) Start chest compressions
C) Give two rescue breaths
D) Attach an AED
Rationale: Agonal gasps are not effective breathing. High-quality CPR begins
immediately with compressions.
3. What is the recommended compression depth for an adult?
A) 1.5 inches
B) 2–2.4 inches (5–6 cm)
C) 2.5–3 inches
,D) At least 3 inches
Rationale: AHA 2020 specifies at least 2 inches (5 cm), max 2.4 inches (6 cm).
4. Compression rate for adult CPR:
A) 80–100/min
B) 100–120/min
C) 120–140/min
D) 140–160/min
*Rationale: Rate 100–120/min balances coronary perfusion and venous return.*
5. Complete chest recoil allows:
A) Faster compressions
B) Coronary and cerebral perfusion
C) Less rescuer fatigue
D) Higher end-tidal CO₂
Rationale: Recoil allows heart to refill with blood; leaning reduces cardiac output.
6. In two-rescuer adult CPR, compressor switches every:
A) 1 minute
B) 2 minutes (5 cycles of 30:2)
C) 3 minutes
D) 5 minutes
Rationale: Every 2 minutes or when rescuer fatigues, usually after 5 cycles 30:2.
7. AED pads for an adult should be placed:
A) Apex-sternum
B) Anterolateral (right upper chest, left side lower chest)
C) Anteroposterior
D) Left arm and right leg
Rationale: Anterolateral position is standard for adult AED use.
8. Shockable rhythms in cardiac arrest include:
A) Asystole and PEA
, B) VF and pVT
C) AFib and aflutter
D) Sinus bradycardia
Rationale: VF and pulseless VT are the only rhythms responding definitively to
defibrillation.
9. After a shock from AED, you should:
A) Check pulse
B) Immediately resume CPR for 2 minutes
C) Give epinephrine
D) Analyze rhythm again
Rationale: AHA sequence: shock → immediately CPR for 2 min → rhythm check.
10. Maximum interval for rhythm checks during CPR:
A) Every 30 seconds
B) Every 2 minutes
C) Every 3 minutes
D) Every 5 minutes
Rationale: Frequent interruptions decrease survival. Check every 2 minutes after 5
cycles of 30:2.
11. Infant CPR (single rescuer) compression-to-ventilation ratio:
A) 15:2
B) 30:2
C) 15:1
D) 3:1
*Rationale: Same as adult/child for single rescuer (30:2). Two-rescuer infant/child
is 15:2.*
12. Child CPR (two rescuer) ratio:
A) 30:2
B) 15:2
