the heart rate is 92/min, the nonlabored respiratory rate is 14 breaths/min, and the pulse

correct answerPeripheral IV
An AED does not promptly analyze a rythm. What is your next step? correct
answerBegin chest compressions.
You have completed 2 minutes of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead II rhythm below,
and the patient has no pulse. Another member of your team resumes chest compressions, and an
IV is in place. What management step is your next priority? correct answerAdminister 1mg of
epinephrine
During a pause in CPR, you see this lead II ECG rhythm on the monitor. The patient has no

ventilations per minute.
Three minutes after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one member of your team inserts an

ventilation, you notice the presence of a waveform on the capnography screen and a PETCO2
level of 8 mm Hg. What is the significance of this finding? correct answerChest compressions
may not be effective.
The use of quantitative capnography in intubated patients correct answerallows for monitoring of
CPR quality.
For the past 25 minutes, an EMS crew has attempted resuscitation of a patient who originally
presented in ventricular fibrillation. After the first shock, the ECG screen displayed asystole,
which has persisted despite 2 doses of epinephrine, a fluid bolus, and high-quality CPR. What is
your next treatment? correct answerConsider terminating resuscitive efforts after consulting
medical control.
Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation sequence? correct answerBe sure
oxygen is not blowing over the patient's chest during the shock.
