EMERGENCY CARE PROTOCOLS UPDATED ACTUAL EXAM 2025|130 QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED CORRECT RATIONALES
1. The pulse check should take:
1 second.
At least 1 second but no more than 5
seconds. At least 10 seconds.
At least 5 seconds but no more than 10 seconds.
2. Your adult patient is experiencing symptomatic supraventricular
tachycardia (SVT). Your service carries adenosine and you have orders
to administer it. What would be the second dose of adenosine?
2 mg
6 mg
24 mg
12 mg
3. Post-cardiac arrest patients undergoing induced hypothermia must
have their core body temperature cooled to:
between 34-36º
C between 32-34º
C between 20-22º
C
, between 28-30º C
4. You have completed 2 minutes of CPR. The ECG monitor displays
the lead II rhythm below, and the patient has no pulse. Another
member of your team resumes chest compressions, and an IV is in
place. What
management step is your next priority?
Give 0.5 mg of atropine.
, Insert an advanced airway.
Administer 1 mg of epinephrine.
Administer a dopamine infusion.
5. Explain the significance of timely interventions by a medical
emergency team (MET) in the context of cardiac arrest.
They help in diagnosing chronic diseases.
They ensure immediate response to clinical deterioration,
improving patient outcomes.
They focus solely on post-cardiac arrest care.
They primarily provide psychological support to patients.
6. In a scenario where a patient in cardiac arrest is unresponsive and an
AED fails to analyze the rhythm after multiple attempts, what should
be your
immediate course of action after beginning chest compressions?
Continue chest compressions and call for additional
medical assistance
Stop compressions and reassess the patient’s
airway Administer epinephrine immediately
Attempt to reposition the AED for better contact
7. In a scenario where a patient in cardiac arrest requires defibrillation,
which of the following actions should be prioritized to ensure safety
and effectiveness?
, Administer CPR while the defibrillator is charging.
Place the defibrillator pads on the patient's chest without
checking for oxygen flow.
Ensure that no one is touching the patient and that oxygen is not
blowing over the chest before delivering the shock.
