ASCL EXAM
1. An elderly male patient visits the emergency department because of chest pain,
diaphoresis, and poor breathing. The patient receives a diagnosis of suspected acute
coronary syndrome (ACS), which requires nasal cannula administration of oxygen. The
nurse should check his oxygen saturation (SaO₂) when providing care. The proper SaO₂
target for this patient under supplemental oxygen therapy needs to be determined by
medical professionals.
2. When performing resuscitation on an unconscious patient during cardiac arrest, the code
team initiates ventilation through bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation. These findings are
likely due to the most serious complication of substandard BVM ventilation technique.
3. The patient exhibits ETCO₂ of 55 mmHg with SaO₂ recorded at 88%. The observed
findings point most conclusively toward
4. At the start of CPR, a medical professional should begin ventilation to maintain proper
oxygen flow and breathing functions. The healthcare provider performs capnography
evaluations while ventilations take place to determine ventilation adequacy. Ventilations.
After conducting end-tidal carbon dioxide measurements, the healthcare provider will
determine ventilation adequacy.
5. A male patient of 68 years old comes to the emergency department with a fast heartbeat
and trouble catching his breath. Medical technicians need to analyse this cardiac rhythm
because it displays:
A steady ventricular beating at 150 bpm
The atria generate fused atrial waves at a 300-bpm pace
The heart shows a 2:1 electrical connection
The QRS intervals remain under 0.12 seconds long
Please state the correct reading of this heart pattern.
6. While walking in a medical facility sunroom, a person falls unconscious to the ground.
Your initial response should be the following: the first healthcare provider.
The patient is a woman who has reached age 35 with symptoms of chest pain. Her ECG
shows: • ST-segment elevation at the J point • Most prominent in leads V₂-V₃ • No prior
ECG for comparison. What ST elevation value is required among V₂-V₃ leads to
diagnose STEMI in this particular patient?
