Question

1. True or False: If the AED advises no shock, you should still defibrillate because defibrillation often restarts the heart with no pulse.
   • True
   • False
2. True or False: One type of acute coronary syndrome is STEMI.
   • True
   • False
3. True or False: If atropine is unsuccessful in treating bradycardia, it is doubtful that the individual will respond to any other interventions.
   • True
   • False
4. The BLS Survey includes assessing which of the following?
   • Responsiveness, Activate EMS and get an AED, Circulation, Defibrillation
   • Airway, Blood Pressure, CPR, Differential Diagnosis
   • Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Defibrillation
   • Responsiveness, Breathing, Cardiac Assessment, Drugs
5. Hyperventillation (over ventillation) can be harmful because it:
   • Increases intrathoracic pressure
   • Decreases venous return to the heart
   • Diminishes cardiac output
   • All of the above
6. What is the purpose of defibrillation?
   • To treat symptomatic bradycardia.
   • To stun the heart and allow its normal pacemaker to resume electrical activity.
   • To restart the heart.
   • To provide electrically stimulated contraction of the heart.
7. The proper steps for operating an AED are:
   • Power on the AED, attach electrode pads, shock the individual, and analyze the rhythm.
   • Power on the AED, shock the individual, attach electrode pads, and analyze the
   • Power on the AED, analyze the rhythm, attach electrode pads, and shock the individual.
   • Power on the AED, attach electrode pads, analyze the rhythm, and shock the individual.
8. Immediately following a shock, CPR should be resumed for how many minutes?
   • Two minutes
   • 10 minutes
   • Five minutes
   • One minute
9. The order of priority for routes of access for drugs is:
   • IO route, IV route, ET route
   • ET route, IV route, IO route
   • IO route, ET route, IV route
   • IV route, IO route, ET route
10. Examples of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) include all of the following EXCEPT:
    • Unstable angina (UA)
    • Non-ST-Elevation MI (NSTEMI)
    • Stable Angina
    • ST-Elevation MI (STEMI)

Answer 1

1. The correct option is False.

If the AED advises no shock, you should not defibrillate because defibrillation will cause burn and it does not restart the heart with no pulse .

2. The correct option is True . STEMI is one of the types of acute coronary syndrome .

3. The correct option is False . If atropine does not cause increase in heart rate , then other medications such as adrenaline , dopamine , transcutaneous pacing etc are used .

4. The correct option is Airway , Breathing , Circulation , Defibrillation . BLS( basic life support ) survey includes assessing airway , breathing , circulation and defibrillation .
