1. By what route is Xolair (omalizumab) administered?
A. Subcutaneously
B. Aerosolized
C. IV
D. Intra-muscular - ANSWER A.
2. How many milliliters of aerosolized medication should be prepared to deliver
30 mg of that same drug if the strength is 1.5%
A. 2.0 mL
B. 4.5 mL
C. 20 mL
D. 45 mL - ANSWER A.
Strength of 1.5% x 10 = 15 mg/mL
30 mg / 15 mg/mL = 2.0 mL
3. An aerosolized bronchodilator is being administered to a patient. The dose is
5.0 mL and the drug strength is 2.0%. How many milligrams of the drug will be
administered?
,A. 2.5 mg
B. 0.4 mg
C. 100 mg
D. 10 mg - ANSWER C.
Strength of 2.0% x 10 = 20 mg/mL
5.o mL x 20 mg/mL = 100 mg
4. A bronchodilator medication whose strength is 0.5% must be delivered by
continuous bronchodilator therapy at 10 mg/hr for 2.5 hours. How many mL will
be required to be added to the nebulizer?
A. 25 mL
B. 5.0 mL
C. 1.25 mL
D. 10 mL - ANSWER B.
Strength of 0.5% x 10 = 5 mg/mL
2.5 x 10 = 25 total milligrams
# of mL needed = 25 total mg / 5 mg/mL = 5.0 mL
5. Hazards associated with oxygen therapy include absorption atelectasis, safety
issues such as fire, and oxygen toxicity. For oxygen toxicity to be a concern, which
of the following conditions might be present?
A. Any FiO2 above 0.40 for more than 24 hours
B. When the barometric pressure exceeds 742 mm Hg
C. FiO2 greater than 0.6 for 12 hours or more
,D. Use of 100% oxygen for 1-2 hours - ANSWER C.
6. What modality is most suitable for administering helium-oxygen therapy at a
mixture of 70/30%?
A. Air-entrainment mask
B. Simple mask
C. Nonrebreather mask
D. Nasal cannula - ANSWER C.
7. A patient with moderate ventilatory distress is placed on 70/30% heliox by a
nonrebreather. Immediately after the institution of the therapy, the RT notices the
reservoir on the mask collapses completely with each breath. After a few minutes,
the reservoir begins to collapse only partially. The therapist should:
A. Switch to 80/20% heliox
B. Switch to 60/40% heliox
C. Continue the current therapy
D. Increase the gas flow to the mask - ANSWER C.
8. What joule setting should be used on a bi-phasic defibrillator during
unsynchronized conditions for the treatment of V-tach?
A. 50-100 joules
B. 300-360 joules
C. 150-200 joules
D. 10-25 joules - ANSWER C.
, 9. While performing ACLS on a patient who is in complete cardiac arrest, the
physician orders arterial blood gas analysis. The RT is unable to palpate a radial
pule. BP is 25/5 mm Hg. The RT should:
A. Obtain blood from the femoral artery
B. Use venous blood for the blood gas analysis
C. Perform an Allen's test
D. Attempt a brachial artery puncture - ANSWER A.
10. While performing cardiac compressions on a patient in complete cardiac
arrest, the physician suspects a gastric rupture has occurred. The RT should
anticipate the order to:
A. Prepare for echocardiography
B. Continue compressions
C. Transfer the patient to CT scan
D. Cease compressions for needle puncture of the abdomen - ANSWER B.
Which of the following medications may be delivered by instillation down the ETT
during ACLS efforts?
A. Atropine
B. Prostaglandin
C. Racemic epinephrine
D. Nitroglycerine - ANSWER A.
