You are alone when you encounter an individual in what appears to be cardiac or respiratory arrest. What are the first three steps you should take to stabilize them? Check for danger, check for response, and ____________.

  Start CPR.

  Administer an initial shock.

  Insert an advanced airway.

  Send for help.

All of the following are considered advanced airways EXCEPT:

  Laryngeal tube

  Endotracheal tube (ET)

  Nasopharyngeal airway (NPA)

The BLS Survey changed in the 2010 AHA update. Which of the following describes this change?

  Start with chest compressions instead of two rescue breaths.

  Survey is no longer represented by the mnemonic ABCD; instead, it is represented by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4.

  Chest compressions should be continued while preparing the AED to minimize breaks.

  All of the above

Treatment of PEA should include the following EXCEPT:

  Identify and reverse etiologies of the arrest

  Effective CPR

  Epinephrine

  Defibrillation

All of the following can be considered an underlying cause of pulseless electrical activity EXCEPT:

  Hypoxia

  Hypovolemia

  Acute toxin ingestion

  Hyperglycemia

An important link in the STEMI Chain of Survival is improving myocardial perfusion by:

  Defibrillation

  Chest compressions

  CPR

  Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or fibrinolytics

In a bradycardic individual who is symptomatic and does not respond to atropine, the next treatment to consider is:

  Sedatives

  Analgesics

  Amiodarone

  Transcutaneous pacing

Tachycardia may reduce coronary perfusion and cause a myocardial infarction, which is also known as a(n):

  Irregular ventricular rhythm

  Stenosis of the heart

  Stroke

  Heart attack

During a tachycardic episode, if the individual ____________ at any point, you must switch algorithms.

  Urinates

  Vomits

  Salivates

  Loses a pulse

A _____________ is required to assess for STEMI.

  Transcutaneous pacing

  Vagal maneuvers

  Defibrillator

  12-lead ECG

All of the following are appropriate actions by first responders EXCEPT:

  Administer oxygen.

  Transport to a nearby stroke center.

  Check glucose level.

  Find IV access immediately.

Which of the following is the primary treatment in management of ventricular fibrillation?

  Carotid massage

  Defibrillation

  Sedatives

  All of the above

Why should therapeutic hypothermia be considered in an adult comatose person during the post-cardiac arrest period?

  To prevent tachycardia

  To re-establish circulation

  To prevent sepsis

  To protect the brain/organs

Which of the following side effects may be expected during amiodarone infusion?

  Hypotension

  Bradycardia

  Gastrointestinal toxicity

  All of the above

All of the following statements regarding asystole are correct EXCEPT:

  Vital organs can be permanently damaged.

  Asystolic rhythms can result in severe myocardial ischemia.

  A pulse will not be present in an asystolic individual.

  All heart tissue immediately dies when an individual enters asystole.
