A patient with acute renal failure experiences cardiac arrest. Just
before the cardiac arrest, the patient's ECG showed peaked T
waves. What might be causing the patient's cardiac arrest? -
ANSWER-Hyperkalemia
A patient is admitted to the emergency department with signs and
symptoms of stroke. The stroke team should complete a
comprehensive neurologic assessment and obtain brain imaging
results within what time frame? - ANSWER-Within 20 minutes
Which statement accurately reflects the management of cardiac
arrest in a pregnancy of 26 weeks' gestation? - ANSWER-
Resuscitative cesarean delivery (RCD) should be performed
within 5 minutes from the time of arrest.
Assessment of a patient reveals an ETCO2 level of 55 mmHg and
an arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) level of 88%. The provider

would interpret these findings as indicative of which condition? -
ANSWER-Respiratory failure
A 42-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with
complaints of fatigue, shortness of breath, back pain and nausea.
A 12-lead ECG is obtained and shows ST-segment depression in
leads II, III, and aVF and intermittent runs of nonsustained
ventricular tachycardia. Cardiac serum markers are elevated.
These findings suggest which condition? - ANSWER-High-risk
non-ST-segment elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS)
A 30-year-old patient has been brought to the emergency
department in cardiac arrest. The cardiac monitor shows the
following rhythm. Interpretation of this rhythm would suggest
which of the following as a possible precipitating factor? -
ANSWER-Electrocution
After cardiac arrest and successful resuscitation, the patient has a
return of spontaneous circulation. The patient is unable to follow
verbal commands. Targeted temperature management is initiated.
Which method(s) would be appropriate for the resuscitation team
to use? - ANSWER-Using an endovascular catheter

Giving an ice-cold IV fluid bolus
Applying cooling blankets to the patient's body
Which statements accurately reflect the recommendations for
post-cardiac arrest neuroprognostication? - ANSWER-Post-
cardiac arrest neuroprognostication should be multimodal.
Decision-making related to the continuation or withdrawal of life-
sustaining treatments should be delayed until 72 hours after
return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and following return to
normothermia.
A patient in the telemetry unit is receiving continuous cardiac
monitoring. The patient has a history of myocardial infarction. The
patient's ECG rhythm strip is shown in the following figure. The
provider interprets this strip as indicating which arrhythmia? -
ANSWER-Third-degree AV block
A patient with bradycardia and signs of hemodynamic
compromise does not respond to atropine. Which interventions
could the healthcare provider use next? - ANSWER-Epinephrine
or dopamine infusion

Transcutaneous pacing
A patient has experienced return of spontaneous circulation
(ROSC) after cardiac arrest. The healthcare team is conducting a
secondary assessment to determine the possible cause of the
patient's cardiac arrest. Before the arrest, the patient exhibited
jugular venous distension, cyanosis, apnea and hyperresonance
on percussion. The patient was also difficult to ventilate during the
response. The team would most likely suspect which condition as
the cause? - ANSWER-Tension pneumothorax
Which statements accurately reflect the recommendations for
post-cardiac arrest patient care? - ANSWER-Perfusion should be
assessed and maintained to ensure the best outcome for the
post-cardiac arrest patient.
Arterial blood gases may be used to guide ventilation and
oxygenation in the post-cardiac arrest patient.
A patient is in cardiac arrest. The underlying cause is thought to
be opioid toxicity. Which statement accurately describes the use
