A member of the resuscitation team is preparing to administer medications
intravenously to a patient in cardiac arrest. The team member should follow each
peripherally administered drug dose with a normal saline flush. How much would the
team member give?

10 to 20 mL
A patient is in cardiac arrest. The underlying cause is thought to be opioid toxicity.
Which statement accurately describes the use of naloxone for this patient?
Give this one a try later!
, Naloxone should be administered as soon as possible but is not a priority
over high-quality CPR and AED use.
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?

Tension Pneumothorax
A patient with STEMI is experiencing chest pain that is refractory to sublingual
nitroglycerin. Intravenous nitroglycerin is prescribed. When administering this
medication, it would be titrated to maintain which systolic blood pressure?

A patient with suspected acute coronary syndromes (ACS) has a pulse oximetry
reading of 86% and is given supplemental oxygen. The provider determines that the
supplemental oxygen dose is correct based on which SaO2 level?

A patient comes to the emergency department complaining of palpitations and "some
shortness of breath." Cardiac monitoring is initiated and reveals the following ECG
rhythm strip. The provider interprets this strip as indicating which arrhythmia?
Give this one a try later!
Atrial flutter
Cardiac monitoring reveals a tachyarrhythmia. The patient is hemodynamically stable
and has a regular heart rate ranging from 120 to 135 beats per minute. Which
statements by the patient could the team interpret as contributing to the
tachyarrhythmia?
Give this one a try later!
-"I've been so anxious lately because I just lost my job."
-"I've had a terrible cold with a horrible cough for the past week and today
I developed a fever."
-"I've been vomiting for the past 2 days from a gastrointestinal bug."
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?
