Study online at https://quizlet.com/_dfbuq5
1. After immediately initiating the emergency response system, what is the next
link in the Adult In-Hospital Cardiac Chain of Survival?: Early high-quality CPR
2. The nurse assesses a responsive adult and determines she is choking. Which
intervention should the nurse implement?: Cycles of 5 back blows and 5 abdominal thrusts
3. You are providing care for Mrs. Bove, who has an endotracheal tube in place.
How does this affect compressions and ventilations?: The team should provide ventilations
at a rate of 1 ventilation every 6 seconds without pausing compressions.
4. You are working in an OB/GYN office when your patient, Mrs. Tribble, sud-
denly goes into cardiac arrest. She is 28 weeks pregnant and her fundus is
above the umbilicus. Which statement is true regarding CPR and AED use for
a pregnant patient?: Providers should perform high-quality CPR and continuous left uterine displacement
(LUD) until the infant is delivered, even if ROSC is achieved.
5. What is the correct rate of ventilation delivery for a child or infant in respira-
tory arrest or failure?: 1 ventilation every 2 to 3 seconds
6. How is a child defined in terms of CPR/AED care?: Someone from the age of 1 to the onset
of puberty
7. While orienting a new medical assistant to the facility, you find a patient who
is unresponsive in the exam room. You yell to the medical assistant, "Go get
the AED!" Which response by the medical assistant demonstrates closed-loop
communication?: "I'll go get the AED."
8. During a resuscitation, the team leader assigns team roles and tasks to each
member. You recognize that a task has been overlooked. Which is the most
appropriate action?: Alert the team leader immediately and identify for them what task has been overlooked.
9. You and your colleagues are performing CPR on a 6-year-old child. What is
the compression-to-ventilation ratio during multiple-provider CPR?: 15:2
10. You perform a rapid assessment and determine that your patient is experi-
encing cardiac arrest. On the basis of your assessment findings, you begin CPR
to improve the patient's chances of survival. Which term refers to clearly and
rationally identifying the connection between information and actions?: Critical
thinking
11. You are preparing to deliver ventilations to an adult patient experiencing
