#1

What is the recommended compression depth for adult patients during CPR according to ACLS guidelines?

2 inches (5 centimeters)
Explanation

Optimal compression depth for effective circulation.

#2

Which rhythm is commonly associated with a pulseless electrical activity (PEA) arrest?

Asystole
Explanation

Absence of effective cardiac activity.

#3

In ACLS, what is the recommended dose of atropine for bradycardia with a pulse?

0.5 mg
Explanation

Standard dose for bradycardia reversal.

#4

During ACLS, which antiarrhythmic medication is specifically recommended for stable monomorphic ventricular tachycardia?

Procainamide
Explanation

Effective medication for specific arrhythmia type.

#5

In ACLS, what is the recommended dose of epinephrine for pediatric patients in cardiac arrest?

0.1 mg/kg
Explanation

Pediatric dose for optimal circulation.

#6

Which medication is commonly administered during ACLS for the treatment of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia?

Amiodarone
Explanation

Antiarrhythmic medication to restore normal heart rhythm.

#7

What is the correct sequence of steps in the ACLS algorithm for adult cardiac arrest?

C-A-B (Compressions, Airway, Breathing)
Explanation

Updated CPR sequence prioritizing compressions.

#8

In ACLS, what is the primary goal of defibrillation?

To restore a normal heart rhythm
Explanation

Resetting the heart's electrical activity.

#9

Which of the following is a reversible cause of cardiac arrest according to the H's and T's in ACLS?

Hypothermia
Explanation

Correctable factor affecting heart function.

#10

What is the purpose of synchronized cardioversion in ACLS?

To convert atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter
Explanation

Restoring normal atrial rhythm.

#11

During ACLS, what is the recommended dose of epinephrine for adult patients with cardiac arrest?

0.5 mg/kg
Explanation

Standard dose for optimizing circulation.

#12

What is the purpose of therapeutic hypothermia in post-cardiac arrest care?

To reduce neurological injury
Explanation

Neuroprotective measure to minimize brain damage.

#13

What is the recommended rate of chest compressions per minute for adult patients in cardiac arrest during CPR?

100-120 compressions per minute
Explanation

Optimal compression frequency for effective CPR.

#14

During ACLS, when should advanced airway management (endotracheal intubation or supraglottic airway) be considered in the adult patient in cardiac arrest?

After the first 2 minutes of CPR
Explanation

Advanced intervention timing to optimize resuscitation.

#15

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

Hypertension
Explanation

Potential adverse effect on blood pressure.
