ACLS VERSION A & B 2023|2024 EXAM QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
ALREADY PASSED
VERSION A
you find an unresponsive patient who is not breathing. after activating the emergency response system,
you determine that there is no pulse. what is your next action? - ANSWER-start chest compressions at a
rate of at least 100/min.
you are evaluating a 58-year-old man with chest pain. the blood pressure is 92/50 mm hg, the heart rate
is 92/min, the nonlabored respiratory rate is 14 breaths/min, and the pulse oximetry reading is 97%.
what assessment step is most important now? - ANSWER-obtaining 12-lead ecg.
what is the preferred method of access for epinephrine administration during cardiac arrest in most
patients? - ANSWER-peripheral intravenous
An activated AED does not promptly analyze the rhythm. What is your next action? - ANSWER-begin
chest compressions.
You have completed 2 min of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead below and the pt. has no pulse.
EXAN QUESRanother member resumes chest compressions and an IV is in place. What management
step is your next priority? - ANSWER-administer one mg of epinephrine
During a pause in CPR, you see this lead II ECG rhythm on the monitor. The patient has no pulse. What is
the next action? - ANSWER-resume chest compressions
what is a common but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management? - ANSWER-prolonged
interruptions of chest compressions
what action is a component of high-quality chest compressions? - ANSWER-uninterrupted compressions
at a depth of 1 1/2 inches
, Which action increases the chance of successful conversion of ventricular fibrillation? - ANSWER-
ventricular tachycardia with a pulse
which situation BEST describes pulseless electrical activity? - ANSWER-sinus rhythm without a pulse
What is the best strategy for perfoming high-quality CPR on a pt.with an advanced airway in place? -
ANSWER-provide continuous chest compressions without pauses and 10 ventilations per minute.
Three minutes after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one member of your team inserts an endotracheal tube
while another performs continuous chest compressions. During subsequent ventilation, you notice the
presence of a waveform on the capnography screen and a PETCO2 level of 8 mm Hg. What is the
significance of this finding? - ANSWER-chest compressions may not be effective
the use of quantitative capnography in intubated patients - ANSWER-allows for monitoring of cpr quality
For the past 25 min, EMS crews have attempted resuscitation of a pt who originally presented with
ventricular fibrillation. After the 1st shock, the ECG screen displayed asystole, which has persisted
despite 2 doses of epi, a fluid bolus, and high quality CPR. What is your next treatment? - ANSWER-
consider terminating resuscitative efforts after consulting medical control.
Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation sequence? - ANSWER-be sure oxygen is
now blowing over the patient's chest during the shock
During your assessment, your pt suddenly loses consciousness. After calling for help and determining
that the pt. is not breathing, you are unsure whether the pt. has a pulse. What is your next action? -
ANSWER-Begin chest compressions
what is the advantage of using hands-free defibrillation pads instead of defibrillation paddles? -
ANSWER-hands-free pads allow for a more rapid defibrillation
What action is recommended to help minimize interruptions in chest compressions during CPR? -
ANSWER-continue CPR while charging the defibrillator
