Answers 100% Correct
What should be done to minimize interruptions in chest compressions during
CPR?
Continue CPR while the defibrillator is charging.
which condition is an indication to stop or withhold resuscitative efforts?
Safety threat to providers.
After verifying the absence of a pulse, you initiate CPR with adequate bag-mask
ventilation. The patient's lead II ECG appears below. What is your next action?
(strip missing displays PEA)
IV or IO access
After verifying unresponsiveness and abnormal breathing, you activate the
emergency response team. What is your next action?
Check for pulse

during cardiac arrest?
Not recommended for routine use

fibrillation?
Produces a small amount of blood flow to the heart.
What is the recommended compression rate for performing CPR?
At least 100 per minute

missing displays Ventricular fibrillation)
Defibrillation
A patient remains in ventricular fibrillation despite 1 shock and 2 minutes of
continuous CPR.
Administer a 2nd shock
What is the recommended next step after a defibrillation attempt?
Begin CPR, starting with chest compressions.

intravenous access during the attempted resuscitation of a patient in cardiac
arrest?
Antecubital
