,1. Which of the following is the correct sequence of actions

cardiac arrest?
A) Check for responsiveness, activate emergency response

B) Check for responsiveness, open airway, give 2 breaths,

C) Check for responsiveness, activate emergency response
system, get AED, start chest compressions, open airway,
give 2 breaths
D) Check for responsiveness, start chest compressions,

airway, give 2 breaths
Answer: D. The correct sequence of actions for performing
high-quality CPR on an adult victim of cardiac arrest is
CAB: Compressions-Airway-Breathing. The first step is to
check for responsiveness and pulse. If the victim is
unresponsive and has no pulse, start chest compressions
immediately at a rate of 100-120 per minute and a depth of
at least 2 inches. The second step is to activate the
emergency response system and get an AED as soon as
possible. The third step is to open the airway and give 2
breaths with a barrier device after every 30 compressions.
The ratio of compressions to breaths is 30:2 for single
rescuers and 15:2 for two rescuers.

symptomatic bradycardia that does not respond to atropine
or pacing?
A) Adenosine
B) Amiodarone
C) Dopamine

Answer: C. Dopamine is a sympathomimetic drug that
increases heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac output. It is
used to treat symptomatic bradycardia that does not
respond to atropine or pacing. The recommended dose is 2-
20 mcg/kg/min IV infusion. Adenosine is used to treat
supraventricular tachycardia by slowing down the
conduction through the AV node. Amiodarone is used to
treat ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia that
are resistant to defibrillation and other antiarrhythmic
drugs. Epinephrine is used to treat cardiac arrest by
increasing coronary and cerebral perfusion pressure.
