GUIDE NEWEST ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS (A+ GUIDE SOLUTION)
The AED gives "no shock" message to a patient who is in cardiac arrest. You
should? - answer-resume chest compressions
Which interventions would have the MOST positive impact on a cardiac arrest
patient's outcome? - answer-Early CPR and defibrillation
What is the max amount of time that should be spent checking for
spontaneous breathing in an unresponsive child? - answer-10 seconds
A 48 year old patients complains of difficulty breathing, patient's history
reveals an acute myocardial infarction 8 months ago, vital signs are 144/86,
110, and 24, auscultation reveals crackles in the lung bases. You should
suspect? - answer-pulmonary edema
After an AED has analyzed a patient, the machine states "shock advised." The
most likely cause is - answer-ventricular tachycardia
, The vessels that supply the myocardium are called? - answer-coronary arteries
An 80 year old male presents with shortness of breath, fatigue, peripheral
edema, and jugular vein distention. Breath sounds reveal crackles and rhonchi.
The most likely cause is? - answer-Congestive Heart Failure
You shocked a patient back into normal rhythm with an AED. During transport,
the patient becomes cyanotic and pulseless. What should you do? - answer-
Start CPR and request EMS unit to stop
A patient compllains of chest pain radiating to both of his shoulders after
dinner. He is pale, diaphoretic and slightly short of breath. The pain worsens

Within two minutes of assisting your patient with his third nitroglycerin tablet,
he complains of dizziness and becomes sweaty. Radial pulses are present,
rapid, and weak. You should suspect that the - answer-nitro caused
