ACLS PROTOCOLS ACTUAL EXAM 2025|157 QUESTIONS
WITH VERIFIED ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
1. Explain why maintaining a compression rate of 100 to 120 per
minute is critical during adult resuscitation efforts.
It ensures adequate blood flow to vital organs.
It allows for longer pauses between
compressions. It reduces the risk of rib
fractures.
It is the maximum rate recommended by the AHA.
2. In a scenario where a resuscitation team is struggling with task
management during a cardiac arrest, which strategy should the
team leader implement to improve efficiency?
Increase the number of team members without assigning specific
roles
Clearly delegate specific roles to each team member
Allow team members to choose their own
tasks Focus on administering medications
only
3. A 45-year-old man had coronary artery stents placed 2 days ago.
Today, he is in severe distress and reporting 'crushing' chest
discomfort. He is pale, diaphoretic, and cool to the touch. His radial
,pulse is very weak,
blood pressure is 64/40 mm Hg, respiratory rate is 28 breaths/min, and
oxygen saturation is 89% on room air. When applied, the cardiac
monitor initially showed ventricular tachycardia, which then quickly
changed to ventricular fibrillation. The patient has return of
spontaneous circulation
and is not able to follow commands. Which immediate post-cardiac
arrest care intervention do you choose for this patient?
extubate
initiate targeted temperature management
administer epinephrine
, check the glucose level
4. A patient in cardiac arrest has received two defibrillation attempts
and is still in ventricular fibrillation. After administering epinephrine
1 mg, what would be the next appropriate step in the ACLS
protocol?
A) Administer amiodarone 300 mg.
B) Continue CPR for 2 minutes before reassessing the rhythm.
C) Perform a third defibrillation attempt immediately.
D) Intubate the patient before further interventions.
5. If the patient is not following commands, start targeted temperature
management as soon as possible with what targeted temperature range?
32 to 36 degrees celsius
30 to 32 degrees celsius
36 to 38 degrees celsius
28 to 30 degrees celsius
6. What is the recommended frequency for switching chest
compressors during CPR according to ACLS protocols?
Every 1 minute
Every 2 minutes
Every 3 minutes
Every 5 minutes
, 7. Choose the MOST CORRECT answer. As a member of a
paramedic team delivering resuscitation, what should you do if you
see a team member about to make a drug error?
Ignore the team member because everyone is accountable for
their own actions
