Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Quiz

CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

Applying an AED is not a primary step in CPR.

The compression to ventilation ratio for adult CPR is 15:2.

A heart attack is a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest.

Increased heart rate on the monitor is not a sign of effective CPR.

The 'D' in 'ABCDE' stands for Disability in CPR training.

The recommended compression depth for adult CPR is 2 inches (5 cm).

Amiodarone is the recommended initial drug therapy for ventricular fibrillation in ACLS.

ACLS primarily focuses on emergency care for cardiac and respiratory arrest.

The recommended compression rate for adult CPR is 100 compressions per minute.

Pulseless ventricular tachycardia requires immediate defibrillation in ACLS.

The recommended depth for chest compressions in pediatric CPR is 1/2 inch (1 cm).

Asystole is not shockable in ACLS.

Allowing full chest recoil is a key component of high-quality CPR.

Atropine is the recommended first-line medication for symptomatic bradycardia in ACLS.

The primary goal of ACLS when managing a patient in cardiac arrest is to achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).

The recommended dose of amiodarone for ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia in ACLS is 300 mg.
