ACLS quiz questions with best
solutions
Which are the elements of a system of care? - answersStructure, processes, system,
patient outcome
What element of a system of care is represented by properly functioning resuscitation
equipment? - answersStructure
Among others, which factor has been associated with improved survival in patients with
cardiac arrest? - answersImmediate high- quality CPR
What is the first link in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) chain of survival? -
answersActivation of emergency response
What are signs of clinical deterioration that would prompt the activation of a rapid
response system? - answersSystemic hypertension, unexplained agitation, seizure
What is the primary purpose of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency
team (MET)? - answersTo improve patient outcomes by identifying and treating early
clinical deterioration
What happens when teams rapidly assess and intervene when patients have abnormal
vital signs? - answersThe number of in-hospital cardiac- arrest decreases
In addition to decreased IHCA, what are some other benefits of implementing a rapid
response system? - answersDecrease ICU length of stay, decreased in total hospital
length of stay
Which component of effective high-performance teams is represented by the use of
real-time feedback devices? - answersQuality
What is the main advantage of effective teamwork? - answersDivision of tasks
Which is the best example of a role of the team leader? - answersModels excellent
team behavior
Which is the best example of a role of a team member? - answersPrepared to fulfill their
role responsibilities
What is primary purpose of the CPR coach on a resuscitation team? -
answersIncreasing CPR quality
, Which member of the high-performance team has the responsibility for assigning roles
(positions)? - answersTeam leader
Which high-performance team member is part of the resuscitation triangle? -
answersMonitor/ defibrillator/ CPR coach
Which is an example of knowledge sharing by a team leader? - answersAsking for
suggestions about interventions
Which is an example of summarizing and reevaluating? - answersIncreasing monitoring
of the patient's condition deteriorates
Which is a step of closed-loop communication? - answersConfirming task completion
before assigning another task
Which are examples of mutual respect? - answers· Acknowledging correctly completed
tasks in a positive way
· Ensuring that only 1 person talks at a time
What are the components of high-quality CPR? - answers· Compression depth of at
least 2 inches (5cm)
· Complete chest recoil after each compression
· Interruptions limited £ 10 seconds
· Switching compressions every 2 minutes
· Avoiding excessive ventilation
Which of the following defines chest compression fraction (CCF)? - answersCCF=
actual chest compression time/
Total code time
During CPR, chest compression fraction (CCF) should be at least --- and ideally greater
than 80%. - answers60%
How do interruptions in chest compressions negatively impact survival after cardiac
arrest? - answersDecrease coronary perfusion pressure
Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) equals aortic ---- pressure minus right atrial diastolic
pressure. - answersdiastolic
What is the only intervention that can restore on organize rhythm in patients with
ventricular fibrillation (VF)? - answersEarly and effective defibrillation
How quickly does the chance of survival describe for every minute of defibrillation delay
in patients with ventricular fibrillation (VF) who do not receive bystander CPR? -
answers7-10%
