ACLS POST TEST
ACLS POST TEST (COPY) EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
You are caring for a patient with a suspected stroke whose symptoms
started 2 hours ago. The CT was normal with no sign of haemorrhage.
The patient does not have any contraindications to fibrinolytic therapy.
Which treatment is best?
a. starts fibrinolytic therapy ASAP
b. hold fibrinolytic therapy for 24 hours
c. order an echo before fibrinolytic administration
d. waits for MRI result ANS >> a. start fibrinolytic therapy ASAP
For STEMI pt, maximum goal time for ED door-to-balloon-inflation time
for PCI?
a. 150 mins
b. 180 mins
c. 120 mins
, ACLS POST TEST
d. 90 mins ANS >> 90 mins
Which is the recommended oral dose of ASA for a pt w/ suspected ACS?
a. 81 mg
b. 325-650 mg
c. 160-325 mg
d. 40 mg ANS >> 160-325 mg
chest compressions during for adult rate ANS >> 100-120/min
effect of excessive ventilation
a. decreased cardiac output
b. decreased intrathoracic pressure
c. increased perfusion pressure
d. increased venous return ANS >> decreased cardiac output
temperature to achieve targeted temperature management after
cardiac arrest ANS >> 32-36C
3 mins into cardiac arrest resuscitation attempt, one member of your
team inserts an endotracheal tube while another performs chest
compressions. Capnography shows a persistent waveform & a PETCO2
of 8mmHg. What is the significance of the finding?
