NREMT CARDIOLOGY AND
RESUSCITATION 2025 ACTUAL EXAM TEST
WITH COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
ACCURATE ANSWERS
You are called to a scene of a 3-year-old who is not breathing and
is pulseless. Your CPR should include compressions at what
depth? Correct Answer 2010 AHA guidelines stipulate that at
least 1/3rd of the anterior posterior diameter of the chest should
be compressed while performing CPR on a child.
If someone is tachycardic they _________________. Correct
Answer Anything less than 60 is considered bradycardic. More
than 100 beats a minute is tachycardic.
Resuscitation should not be started if obvious signs of death are
present. These signs include all of the following except: Correct
Answer Absence of heart beat. Obvious signs of death include:
rigor mortus, dependent lividy (rigor mortis), putrefaction or
decomposition of body, and nonsurvivable injury.
You and your partner are called to a swimming pool for a 5 year
old who does not have a pulse and is not breathing. You begin

female who was found apneic and pulseless by neighbors. Your
CPR will utilize: Correct Answer Chest compressions at 110 a
minute with about 6 breaths a minute. The first answer is correct
,with compressions of at least 100 per minute and a 30:2 ratio
would provide about 6 breaths a minute.
In 20 seconds of CPR you should deliver approximately how
many chest compressions? Correct Answer 36 compressions.
You want to deliver at least 100 compressions per minute (60
seconds). 20 seconds is .33 of a minute or 99 compressions. 36
compressions a minute would give you 108 compressions, which
is a more correct choice.

impeded by fluid in the pericardium, will result in a low BP and
muffled heart sounds with a very weak pulse as the heart
struggles to pump.
Of the answer choices, which is not among the aspects of blood
pressure monitoring to be addressed during the second
assessment? Correct Answer Strength. During secondary
assessment, the aspects of blood pressure monitoring that should
be addressed include: Equipment size, placement of cuff, position
of patient, position of arm, methods of measurement, and relation
to perfusion. Using the correct size is of absolute importance due
