EMERGENCY MEDICAL PROCEDURES ACTUAL EXAM
2025 |138 QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
1. During a pause in CPR, you see a narrow complex rythm on the
monitor. The pt. has no pulse. What is the next action?
Administer 1mg of epinepherine
Resume compressions
Prolonged interruptions in chest
compressions. Allowing complete chest
recoil
2. A patient has stable, monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. To
perform synchronized cardioversion with a biphasic defibrillator
and convert this dysrhythmia, which energy setting should be used
first?
50 joules
100 joules
120 joules
200 joules
3. Which of the following poses the greatest risk during
defibrillation? Defibrillating a patient found on a metal
floor
, Defibrillating a patient with a nitro patch on the left shoulder
O2 blowing over the chest during defibrillation
Using defibrillation pads
4. What is the recommended action to take when a patient in cardiac
arrest shows a narrow complex rhythm on the monitor but has no
pulse?
Administer epinephrine
Resume compressions
Prepare for defibrillation
, Check for a pulse
5. In a scenario where a patient experiences ventricular fibrillation and
requires defibrillation, how would the use of hands-free d-fib pads
improve the response time of the medical team compared to
traditional d- fib paddles?
Hands-free pads require less training to use
Hands-free pads can be applied while CPR is ongoing
Hands-free pads are less expensive
Hands-free pads can only be used on adults
6. You are caring for a 65 year old who collapsed outside of the hospital
and was brought in to the emergency department. During CPR,
quantitative waveform capnography shows a PETCO2 level < 10 mm
HG. Which of the following is the correct response to this finding?
Do nothing; this is normal.
Increase the amount of oxygen being delivered.
Attempt to improve the quality of CPR.
Decrease the amount of oxygen being delivered.
7. A 56-year-old woman presents to the emergency department (ED)
complaining of dizziness and syncope. In the ED, her vital signs are:
blood pressure 88/56 mm Hg; heart rate 39 beats/min; RR 16 breaths/min;
T 37ºC. ECG reveals a regular rhythm. Which one of the following is
the best treatment for this patient?
Direct current
, cardioversion Permanent
pacemaker
Atropine 0.5 mg intravenously
Treatment is not necessary
