BLS REVIEW PRACTICE TEST CORRECTLY ANSWERED.

BLS REVIEW PRACTICE TEST CORRECTLY ANSWERED. Recognize - CORRECT ANSWER You've gathered information about the patient and the emergency throughout the rapid assessment. Now, you'll use the results of your assessment to quickly recognize the emergency condition and determine your immediate course of action. For example, if you find the patient is not breathing (or has ineffective ventilation) and their central pulse is present, you will implement care for respiratory arrest or respiratory failure. If you find that the patient is not breathing (or only gasping) and their central pulse is absent, you will implement care for cardiac arrest. Other conditions requiring basic life support may include: -Life-threatening injury or illness -Obstructed airway -Opioid overdose Provide Care - CORRECT ANSWER Implement appropriate care based on your understanding of the patient's condition. Proper care cannot be provided without effective assessment and accurate recognition of the patient's condition. The care you provide may include: -Delivering ventilations to a patient in respiratory arrest or respiratory failure. -Performing CPR on a patient in cardiac arrest. -Positioning and providing care as needed for a patient with a life-threatening injury or illness. -Clearing an obstructed airway. -Administering naloxone to a patient experiencing an opioid overdose. Reassess and Document - CORRECT ANSWER After providing care, it is important to reassess the patient and the effectiveness of your interventions to determine next steps based on your findings. Always document to establish a record of the events that took place, the care you provided and the facts you discovered. You are about to start your morning rounds, when you hear a loud crash in Mrs. Bailey's room. When you enter her doorway, you see her lying on the floor with her walker tipped over next to her. You must first perform a visual survey. What actions should you take? - CORRECT ANSWER -Determine whether any additional help is needed -Observe for any signs of illness or injury Before you help an ill or injured patient, assess for any immediate dangers to make sure that the environment is safe for you and any individuals present during the event. Next, gather an initial impression of the patient's status, which includes looking for life-threatening bleeding. Your ability to quickly formulate an impression of the patient before performing any hands-on techniques helps you to assess whether the emergency is life-threatening. While the initial impression does not identify a specific emergency, it does provide important clues to what might be happening, and it may help determine whether a patient survives. Finally, quickly identify what additional resources you may need in the situation, such as a rapid response or resuscitation team or an advanced life support unit available to respond, or any additional equipment such as an AED.
