1. A patient admitted to the ED with signs & symptoms With in 20 mins
of stroke. The stroke team should complete a com-
prehensive neurologic assessment and obtain brain
imaging results within what time frame?
2. A person suddenly collapses while sitting in the sun- Rapid assessment
room of a healthcare facility. A healthcare provider
observes the event and hurries over to assess the
situation. The healthcare provider performs which
assessment first?
3. A patient is receiving ventilation support via BVM 35 - 45 mmHg
resuscitator. Capnography is established & a blood
gas is obtained to evaluate the adequacy of the
ventilations. Which PaO2 value signifies adequate
ventilations?
4. A patient experiences cardiac arrest & the resuscita- Pneumothorax
tion team initiates ventilations using a BVM resus-
citator. The development of which condition during
the provision care would lead the team to suspect
that improper BVM technique is being used?
5. A resuscitation team is debriefing following a recent We provided chest compres-
event. A patient experienced cardiac arrest & ALS sions at a rate of 100-120
was initiated. The patient required the placement compressions/minute while
of an advanced airway to maintain airway latency. giving 1 ventilation Q 6secs.
Which statement indicates that the team performed without pausing compres-
high quality CPR? sions.
6. Assessment of a patient reveals an ETCO2 level of Respiratory failure
55mmHg & an SaO2 level of 88%. The provider

would interpret these findings as indicative of which
condition?
7. A responsive patient is choking. What method Back blows
should the provider use first to clear the obstructed
airway?
8. A patient arrives at the ED complaining of SOB. The Assisted ventilation with BVM
patient has a long history of COPD. Assessment re- resuscitator
veals respiratory failure. Which action would be the
initial priority to address the respiratory failure?
9. A 20YO man with respiratory depression is brought 2 minutes
to the ED by his parents. Opioid OD is suspected &
an initial dose of naloxone is administered at 10pm.
The patient doesn't not respond to this initial dose.
The team would expect to administer a second dose
after how many minutes?
10. Assessment of a patient in the ED reveals that the pa- Respiratory distress
tient is experiencing respiratory compromise. From
the assessment, the team identifies that the patient
is in the earliest stage of this condition. Which stage
would this be?
11. The following capnogram is from a patient expe- D
riencing respiratory distress. At which point in the
waveform would the patient's ETCO2 level be mea-
sured?
12. A patient is experiencing respiratory distress sec- Every 6 seconds
ondary to extinction of COPD. The patient begins to
exhibit signs & symptoms of worsening respirato-
