ALS/ACLS - Red Cross Final Exam [2025] TESTED AND
PROVEN QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED VERIFIED
ANSWERS (100% CORRECT ANSWERS) /ALREADY
GRADED A+
The resuscitation team suspects that hyperkalemia is the cause of
cardiac arrest in a patient brought to the emergency department.
Which finding on a 12-lead ECG would confirm this suspicion?
✓ Ans: Wide-complex ventricular rhythm or tall, pointed T waves
Quiz: A patient with dyspnea and a change in mental status arrives at
the emergency department. The healthcare team completes the
necessary assessments and begins to care for the patient, including
initiating cardiac monitoring, pulse oximetry, supplemental oxygen and
vascular access. The team reviews the patient's ECG rhythm strip, as
shown in the following figure. Which agent would the team most likely
administer?
✓ Ans: Atropine 0.5 mg every 4 to 5 minutes
Quiz: A patient experiencing an unstable bradyarrhythmia does not
respond to atropine or transcutaneous pacing. Which intervention
would the healthcare provider use next?
, ✓ Ans: Administration of an epinephrine infusion
Quiz: A patient's ECG reveals a tachyarrhythmia. The patient is
hemodynamically stable and has a heart rate ranging from 120 to 135
beats per minute. Based on the findings of the secondary assessment,
which statement(s) by the patient would the team interpret as a
possible contributing cause?
✓ Ans: 1. "I've had a terrible cold with a horrible cough and fever the
past week."
✓ 2. "I've been so anxious lately because I just lost my job."
✓ 3. "I've been vomiting for the past 2 days from a gastrointestinal bug."
Quiz: A patient's ECG reveals a narrow QRS complex with a regular
rhythm, indicating a narrow-complex supraventricular tachyarrhythmia.
The patient is hemodynamically stable. Which intervention would be
initiated first?
✓ Ans: Vagal maneuvers
Quiz: A patient in the telemetry unit is stable. Cardiac monitoring
indicates the patient has ventricular tachycardia with a pulse. Further
assessment reveals that the corrected QT interval is greater than 0.46
seconds. Which treatment would be appropriate at this time?
✓ Ans: Synchronized cardioversion
