#1

Which rhythm is considered shockable in cardiac arrest according to ACLS guidelines?

Ventricular Fibrillation (VF)
Explanation

VF is shockable due to disorganized electrical activity.

#2

What is the recommended compression rate for adult CPR according to ACLS guidelines?

100 compressions per minute
Explanation

Optimal rate for maintaining circulation.

#3

What is the recommended depth for chest compressions in adult CPR according to ACLS guidelines?

2 inches (5 cm)
Explanation

Depth to ensure effective compression.

#4

Which of the following is a primary indication for the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)?

Unresponsive patient with no pulse
Explanation

Device used for shockable rhythms.

#5

Which of the following rhythms requires immediate defibrillation according to ACLS guidelines?

Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia
Explanation

Critical for restoring cardiac function.

#6

What is the recommended compression depth for infant CPR according to ACLS guidelines?

1/2 inch (1.3 cm)
Explanation

Depth appropriate for infants' chests.

#7

Which medication is commonly administered during ACLS for ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia?

Amiodarone
Explanation

Used to stabilize heart rhythm.

#8

What does the acronym 'CAB' stand for in the context of CPR?

Circulation, Airway, Breathing
Explanation

Sequence for CPR actions.

#9

During CPR, what is the recommended compression-ventilation ratio for a lone rescuer in adults?

30 compressions to 1 ventilation
Explanation

Maintains oxygenation and circulation.

#10

Which of the following is a common side effect of administering epinephrine during ACLS?

Hyperglycemia
Explanation

Can occur due to its metabolic effects.

#11

What is the first step in the management of a patient with suspected cardiac arrest?

Activate emergency response system
Explanation

Critical for rapid intervention.

#12

What is the recommended dose of epinephrine for adults in cardiac arrest according to ACLS guidelines?

1 mg every 3-5 minutes
Explanation

Maintains circulation during arrest.

#13

Which of the following is NOT a recommended method for airway management during ACLS?

Nasopharyngeal airway insertion
Explanation

Not preferred due to potential for complications.

#14

What is the recommended compression rate for pediatric CPR according to ACLS guidelines?

100 compressions per minute
Explanation

Same rate as for adults.

#15

Which of the following medications is commonly used for the treatment of symptomatic bradycardia in ACLS?

Atropine
Explanation

Increases heart rate in bradycardia.

#16

Which of the following is a common complication associated with endotracheal intubation during ACLS?

Hypoxemia
Explanation

Can occur due to airway manipulation.

#17

Which of the following statements regarding the use of lidocaine in ACLS is true?

It is contraindicated in patients with wide-complex tachycardias of unknown etiology.
Explanation

May worsen certain tachycardias.
