ANSWERS 2025
9. Which best describes this rhythm? -
8. You are caring for a patient with a suspected stroke whose symptoms started 2 hours
ago. The CT scan was normal, with no signs of hemorrhage. The patient does not have
any contraindications to fibrinolytic therapy. Which treatment is the best for this patient?
-
7. In addition to clinical assessment, which is the most reliable method to confirm and
monitor correct placement of an endotracheal tube? -
6. To properly ventilate a patient with a perfusing rhythm, how often do you squeeze the
bag? -
50. If the patient became apneic and pulseless but the rhythm remained the same,
which would take the highest priority? -
5. Which type of atrioventricular block best describes this rhythm? -
49. After your initial assessment of this patient, which intervention should be performed
next? -
48. The patient's pulse oximeter shows a reading of 84% on room air. Which initial
action do you take? -
47. Based on this patient's initial assessment, which adult ACLS algorithm should you
follow? -
46. Which would you have done first if the patient had not gone into ventricular
fibrillation? -
45. 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? -
44. Despite the drug provided above and continued CPR, the patient remains in
ventricular fibrillation. Which other drug should be administered next? -
43. Despite 2 Defibrillation attempts, the patient remains in ventricular fibrillation. Which
drug and dose should you administer first to this patient? -
42. In addition to defibrillation, which intervention should be performed immediately? -
41. Based on this patient's initial presentation, which condition do you suspect led to the
cardiac arrest? -
40. You have completed 2 minutes of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead II
rhythm shown here, and the patient has no pulse. Another member of your team
resumes chest compressions, and an IV is in place. What do you do next? -
