The BLS Assessment is a systematic approach to BLS for trained healthcare providers.
This approach stresses:
a) basic airway management
b) early cpr and defibrillation
c) defibrillation - Correct Answer-b
while performing the BLS assessment, you initiate high-quality CPR and assist
ventilation with a bag-mask device
,the AED does not recommend a shock

the initial assessment reveals a conscious patient
the patient's airway is patent, and an advanced airway is not indicated
which action in the primary assessment should you perform next?
a) check for the presence of a pulse
b) remove clothing to perform a physical examination
c) administer oxygen as needed
d) check for neurologic function - Correct Answer-C

greater than ___% - Correct Answer-60, 80
among others, which of the following factors has been associated with improved
survival in patients with cardiac arrest?
a) compression-only CPR
b) presence of 2 or more rescuers
c) immediate high -quality CPR
d) manual defibrillation - Correct Answer-C
which action is part of the secondary assessment of a conscious patient?
a) formulate a differential diagnosis
b) attach a monitor/defibrillator
c) give IV/IO fluids if needed
d) determine the patient's level of consciousness - Correct Answer-a
