Which are the elements of a system of care? - correct answer
Structure, processes, system, patient outcome
What element of a system of care is represented by properly
functioning resuscitation equipment? - correct answer Structure
Among others, which factor has been associated with improved
survival in patients with cardiac arrest? - correct answer Immediate
high- quality CPR
What is the first link in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) chain
of survival? - correct answer Activation of emergency response
What are signs of clinical deterioration that would prompt the
activation of a rapid response system? - correct answer Systemic
hypertension, unexplained agitation, seizure
What is the primary purpose of a rapid response team (RRT) or
medical emergency team (MET)? - correct answerTo improve patient
outcomes by identifying and treating early clinical deterioration
What happens when teams rapidly assess and intervene when
patients have abnormal vital signs? - correct answerThe number of in-
hospital cardiac- arrest decreases
In addition to decreased IHCA, what are some other benefits of
implementing a rapid response system? - correct answerDecrease
ICU length of stay, decreased in total hospital length of stay
Which component of effective high-performance teams is represented
by the use of real-time feedback devices? - correct answerQuality
,What is the main advantage of effective teamwork? - correct
answerDivision of tasks
Which is the best example of a role of the team leader? - correct
answerModels excellent team behavior
Which is the best example of a role of a team member? - correct
answerPrepared to fulfill their role responsibilities
What is primary purpose of the CPR coach on a resuscitation team? -
correct answerIncreasing CPR quality
Which member of the high-performance team has the responsibility for
assigning roles (positions)? - correct answerTeam leader
Which high-performance team member is part of the resuscitation
triangle? - correct answerMonitor/ defibrillator/ CPR coach
Which is an example of knowledge sharing by a team leader? - correct
answerAsking for suggestions about interventions
Which is an example of summarizing and reevaluating? - correct
answerIncreasing monitoring of the patient's condition deteriorates
Which is a step of closed-loop communication? - correct
answerConfirming task completion before assigning another task
Which are examples of mutual respect? - correct answer·
Acknowledging correctly completed tasks in a positive way
· Ensuring that only 1 person talks at a time
What are the components of high-quality CPR? - correct answer·
Compression depth of at least 2 inches (5cm)
· Complete chest recoil after each compression
· Interruptions limited £ 10 seconds
· Switching compressions every 2 minutes
· Avoiding excessive ventilation
, Which of the following defines chest compression fraction (CCF)? -
correct answerCCF= actual chest compression time/
Total code time
During CPR, chest compression fraction (CCF) should be at least ---
and ideally greater than 80%. - correct answer60%
How do interruptions in chest compressions negatively impact survival
after cardiac arrest? - correct answerDecrease coronary perfusion
pressure
Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) equals aortic ---- pressure minus
right atrial diastolic pressure. - correct answerdiastolic
What is the only intervention that can restore on organize rhythm in
patients with ventricular fibrillation (VF)? - correct answerEarly and
effective defibrillation
How quickly does the chance of survival describe for every minute of
defibrillation delay in patients with ventricular fibrillation (VF) who do
not receive bystander CPR? - correct answer7-10%
What is the advantage of a systematic approach to patient
assessment? - correct answerReduces the chances of missing
important signs and symptoms
What is the first step in the systematic approach to patient
assessment? - correct answerInitial impression
What is the maximum amount of time you should simultaneously
perform the pulse and breathing checks? - correct answer10 seconds
The BLS Assessment is a systematic approach to BLS for trained
healthcare providers. This approach stresses: - correct answerEarly
CPR and defibrillation
