A+ Questions & Answers 2023/2024 VERIFIED
Any organized rhythm without a pulse is defined as pulseless electrical activity (PEA). correct answers
True
Synchronized cardioversion is appropriate for treating an unknown wide complex tachycardia. correct
answers True
The aorta is the wall that separates the ventricles of the heart. correct answers False
The most effective treatment for ventricular fibrillation is defibrillation. correct answers True
An individual should be cleared-Ñ prior to a shock only when convenient. correct answers False
PEA and asystole are considered non-shockable rhythms and follow the same ACLS algorithm. correct
answers True
Transcutaneous pacing should be used on an individual with bradycardia and inadequate perfusion if
atropine is ineffective and the individual is exhibiting severe symptoms. correct answers True
Low blood pressure may be an indication of hemodynamic instability. correct answers True
Urgent defibrillation is essential for survival in the management of acute strokes. correct answers False
Fibrinolytic therapy within three hours (in some cases 4.5 hours) of first onset of symptoms is the
standard when treating ischemic stroke. correct answers True
100% oxygen is acceptable for early intervention but not for extended periods of time. correct answers
True
In a suspected acute stroke individual, you must always immediately obtain IV access. correct answers
False
There is never a pulse associated with VF; therefore, you should follow the PEA algorithm with
individuals in VF. correct answers False
If the AED advises no shock, you should still defibrillate because defibrillation often restarts the heart
with no pulse. correct answers False
, If transcutaneous pacing fails, there are no other options to consider. correct answers False
Medication is the only treatment for an unstable tachycardic individual. correct answers False
