RVTI EXAM REVISION QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS 2025/2026 ALREADY GRADED A+
Question:1
You find an unresponsive pt. who is not breathing. After activating the emergency
response system, you determine there is no pulse. What is your next action? -
Start chest compressions of at least 100 per min.
Question:2
You are evaluating a 58-year-old man with chest pain. The blood pressure is 92/50
mm Hg, the heart rate is 92/min, the nonlabored respiratory rate is 14
breaths/min, and the pulse oximetry reading is 97%. What assessment step is
most important now? - Obtaining a 12 lead ECG.
Question:3
What is the preferred method of access for epi administration during cardiac
arrest in most pts? - Peripheral IV
Question:4
An AED does not promptly analyze a rythm. What is your next step? - Begin chest
compressions.
Question:5
You have completed 2 minutes of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead II
rhythm below, and the patient has no pulse. Another member of your team

,resumes chest compressions, and an IV is in place. What management step is your
next priority? - Administer 1mg of epinephrine
Question:6
During a pause in CPR, you see this lead II ECG rhythm on the monitor. The
patient has no pulse. What is the next action? - Resume compressions
Question:7
What is a common but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management? -
Prolonged interruptions in chest compressions.
Question:8
Which action is a componant of high-quality chest comressions? - Allowing
complete chest recoil
Question:9
Which action increases the chance of successful conversion of ventricular
fibrillation? - Providing quality compressions immediately before a defibrillation
attempt.
Question:10
Which situation BEST describes pulseless electrical activity? - Sinus rythm without
a pulse

, Question:11
What is the BEST strategy for performing high-quality CPR on a patient with an
advanced airway in place? - Provide continuous chest compressions without
pauses and 10 ventilations per minute.
Question:12
Three minutes after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one member of your team inserts
an endotracheal tube while another performs continuous chest compressions.
During subsequent ventilation, you notice the presence of a waveform on the
capnography screen and a PETCO2 level of 8 mm Hg. What is the significance of
this finding? - Chest compressions may not be effective.
Question:13
The use of quantitative capnography in intubated patients - allows for monitoring
of CPR quality.
Question:14
For the past 25 minutes, an EMS crew has attempted resuscitation of a patient
who originally presented in ventricular fibrillation. After the first shock, the ECG
screen displayed asystole, which has persisted despite 2 doses of epinephrine, a
fluid bolus, and high-quality CPR. What is your next treatment? - Consider
terminating resuscitive efforts after consulting medical control.
Question:15
Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation sequence? - Be sure
oxygen is not blowing over the patient's chest during the shock.
