You are treating a 60-year-old man in cardiac arrest. After delivering a shock with
the AED and performing CPR for 2 minutes, you achieve return of spontaneous
circulation. Your next action should be to:
A) provide rapid transport to the hospital.
B) reanalyze his rhythm for confirmation.
C) assess his airway and ventilatory status.
D) remove the AED and apply 100% oxygen. - Correct Answer-C) assess his airway
and ventilatory status.
If return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) occurs (eg, a palpable pulse is
restored), your first action should be to reassess the patient's airway and
ventilatory status. If the patient remains apneic, continue rescue breathing at a
rate of 10 breaths/min (one breath every 6 seconds). If the patient is breathing
adequately, administer supplemental oxygen in a concentration that is sufficient
to maintain an oxygen saturation that is between 92% and 98%. After reassessing
the airway and breathing, and treating the patient accordingly, you should prepare
for immediate transport. Because of the high risk that cardiac arrest can recur
following resuscitation, you should not remove the AED pads; simply turn the AED
off instead. Analysis of the patient's cardiac rhythm is not indicated because he
now has a pulse.
In patients with heart disease, acute coronary syndrome is MOST often the result
of:

A) atrial damage.
B) atherosclerosis.
C) coronary artery spasm.
D) coronary artery rupture. - Correct Answer-B) atherosclerosis.
After applying the AED to an adult patient in cardiac arrest, you analyze her
cardiac rhythm and receive a shock advised message. Emergency medical
responders, who arrived at the scene before you, tell you that bystander CPR was
not in progress upon their arrival. You should:
A) perform CPR for 2 minutes and then defibrillate.
B) detach the AED and prepare for immediate transport.
C) deliver the shock as indicated followed immediately by CPR.
D) notify medical control and request permission to cease resuscitation. - Correct
Answer-C) deliver the shock as indicated followed immediately by CPR.
Aspirin may be contraindicated in patients with:
A) glaucoma.
B) diabetes.
C) stomach ulcers.
D) ibuprofen allergy. - Correct Answer-C) stomach ulcers
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid [ASA]) inhibits platelet aggregation, thus preventing
clots from forming or preventing an existing clot from getting bigger. Aspirin, in a
dose of 160 to 325 mg, should be administered to patients experiencing acute
coronary syndrome (ie, unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction) as soon as

possible. Aspirin is absolutely contraindicated for patients who are allergic to
salicylates. Because aspirin prolongs bleeding time, it may be contraindicated for
patients with stomach ulcers; therefore, you should contact medical control
before giving aspirin to such patients. Aspirin is not contraindicated for patients
with glaucoma or diabetes. Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Motrin and Advil, is
a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), not a salycilate.
While transporting an elderly woman who was complaining of nausea, vomiting,
and weakness, she suddenly becomes unresponsive. You should:
A) analyze her cardiac rhythm with the AED.
B) open her airway and ensure that it is clear.
C) assess for signs of breathing and a pulse.
D) place her on her side in case she vomits. - Correct Answer-C) assess for signs of
breathing and a pulse.
If a patient is found unresponsive or becomes unresponsive in your presence, your
first action should be to assess for breathing and a pulse; this assessment can
occur simultaneously and should take no more than 10 seconds. If the patient is
breathing adequately and has a pulse, position her on her side and administer
oxygen if needed. If the patient has a pulse but is not breathing, open the airway
and provide rescue breathing. If the patient is not breathing (or has agonal gasps)
and does not have a pulse, begin CPR (starting with chest compressions) and apply
the AED as soon as possible. If you are transporting a patient who becomes
unresponsive, pulseless, and apneic, you should begin CPR and instruct your
partner to stop the ambulance and prepare the AED.
Which of the following patients would MOST likely present with vague or unusual
symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction?

A) 55-year-old obese woman
B) 66-year-old man with angina
C) 72-year-old woman with diabetes
D) 75-year-old man with hypertension - Correct Answer-C) 72-year-old woman
with diabetes
Not all patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) present with the
classic signs and symptoms one would expect. Middle-aged men often minimize
their symptoms and attribute their chest pain or discomfort to indigestion. Some
patients, however, do not experience any pain. In particular, elderly women with
diabetes may present with vague, unusual, or atypical symptoms of AMI; their
only presenting complaint may be fatigue or syncope. Do not rule out a cardiac
problem just because a patient is not experiencing chest pain, pressure, or
discomfort; this is especially true in elderly females with diabetes.
During your assessment of a 70-year-old man with crushing chest pain, you note
that his blood pressure is 80/50 mm Hg. Your MOST important action should be
to:
A) give high-flow oxygen.
B) transport without delay.
C) keep the patient warm.
D) assess his oxygen saturation. - Correct Answer-B) transport without delay.
Patients with chest pain, pressure, or discomfort with a systolic BP less than 100
mm Hg should be transported to the hospital without delay. Hypotension in a
patient with chest pain indicates cardiogenic shock due to severe cardiac damage
and requires treatment that can only be given at the hospital. Any delay in
