ACLS Certification Exam Quiz 2022/2023
Passed with 100%
The BLS Survey includes assessing which of the following?
Responsiveness, Activate EMS and get AED, Circulation, Defibrillation
Basic airway skills include all of the following EXCEPT:
Placement of laryngeal mask airway (LMA)
Which type of suction catheter provides the most effective suctioning of the oropharynx
and thick particulate matter?
Rigid catheter (Yankauer)
Early defibrillation is critical for individuals with sudden cardiac arrest for the following
reasons EXCEPT:
Individuals in asystole respond well to late defibrillation.
In an individual with ventricular fibrillation (VF), what should occur immediately
following a shock?
Resume CPR
An individual should be cleared prior to a shock only when convenient.
FALSE
It is recommended to interrupt CPR when obtaining IV access for an individual in asystole.
FALSE
Nausea in conjunction with chest pain may be indicative of myocardial ischemia.
TRUE
Low blood pressure may be an indication of hemodynamic instability.
TRUE
In a suspected acute stroke individual, you must always immediately obtain IV access.
...
If the AED advises no shock, you should still defibrillate because defibrillation often
restarts the heart with no pulse.
FALSE
One type of acute coronary syndrome is STEMI.
TRUE
The ACLS Survey includes assessing which of the following?
Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Differential Diagnosis
Which of the following is NOT an element of effective resuscitation team dynamics?
Shouting or yelling at team members
For an individual in respiratory arrest with a pulse, how often should they be ventilated?
Give one breath every 5 to 6 seconds, or 10 to 12 breaths per minute.
Basic airway skills include all of the following EXCEPT:
Placement of endotracheal tube (ET tube)
All of the following are examples of advanced airways EXCEPT:
Oropharyngeal airway (OPA)
What is the purpose of defibrillation?
To stun the heart and allow its normal pacemaker to resume electrical activity.
True statements about AED use in special situations include all of the following EXCEPT:
Leave medication patches in place and place the AED electrode pads directly over the patch.
When using a monophasic defibrillator, how many joules should be delivered per shock?
360 J
Immediately following a shock, CPR should be resumed for how many minutes?
Two minutes
For persistent VF/pulseless VT, vasopressors that may be given during CPR include:
Epinephrine
Antiarrhythmic drugs to consider for persistent VF/pulseless VT include all of the
following EXCEPT:
Atropine

The IV route is preferred for drug administration. If IV access is not available, the next
preferred route is:
Intraosseous
The two most common and easily reversible causes of PEA are:
Hypovolemia and hypoxia
The cardiac arrest rhythm associated with NO discernible electrical activity on the ECG is
termed as _________?
Asystole
Early access to medical care, from EMS through reperfusion, improves overall outcomes
by:
Saving more heart tissue from cell death
Nitroglycerin should not be used in individuals experiencing which of the following
situations?
Hypotension or recent Viagra use
The best treatment for ST-elevation MI (STEMI) is:
Early reperfusion therapy
Serious signs and symptoms of unstable tachycardia are usually NOT seen with ventricular
rates less than:
150 beats per minute
If uncertain whether or not an individual is an appropriate candidate for synchronized
cardioversion, the ACLS trained provider should:
Seek expert consultation

team and a CT scan performed within ________ of hospital arrival.
10 minutes
The normal sinus rhythm of the heart starts in the:
Sinoatrial node
Under normal circumstances, what is the largest chamber of the heart?
Left ventricle
What does the QRS represent?
Depolarization of the ventricular

According to the 2015 Guidelines, stopping chest compressions for any reason, such as
pulse checks, should be limited to less than:
10 seconds
Which of the following would be your next action if the rhythm is unshockable, and there is
no pulse?
Immediately resume CPR
All of the following are categories of unstable angina EXCEPT:
No-risk UA

Upon assessment, the individiual is confused and complains of a headache and the left side
of his body being numb. What do you suspect is the most likely diagnosis?
Acute stroke
All of the following are appropriate actions by first responders EXCEPT:
