A patient has a regular narrow-complex tachycardia at about 190/min, marked hypotension, and acute confusion. What is the most appropriate immediate treatment priority?

  1. A

    Try vagal maneuvers and observe for a response before choosing an electrical treatment.

  2. B

    Prepare synchronized cardioversion; sedate if feasible without delaying urgent treatment.

  3. C

    Give adenosine first and defer cardioversion unless the rhythm becomes wide.

  4. D

    Use an unsynchronized shock because the rate is high.

An alert patient has a palpable pulse and maintained blood pressure, with a regular monomorphic wide-complex tachycardia. Which approach best fits the stable wide-QRS pathway?

  1. A

    Continue close monitoring, obtain a 12-lead ECG if available, seek expert consultation, and consider an antiarrhythmic infusion.

  2. B

    Treat it as a benign supraventricular rhythm and discharge the patient if the blood pressure remains stable.

  3. C

    Deliver an unsynchronized shock immediately because every wide-complex rhythm is pulseless VT.

  4. D

    Give adenosine regardless of whether the rhythm is regular or monomorphic.

After ROSC, an adult patient remains unresponsive to verbal commands. Which temperature-management approach is supported?

  1. A

    Use a deliberate protocolized temperature-control strategy and maintain it for at least 36 hours.

  2. B

    Stop active care because the return of a pulse completes resuscitation.

  3. C

    Begin unsynchronized defibrillation because the patient does not follow commands.

  4. D

    Delay post-arrest assessment until the patient wakes spontaneously.

During adult CPR with an advanced airway in place, which actions are recommended? Select all that apply.

  1. A

    Provide continuous chest compressions.

  2. B

    Pause compressions after every 30 compressions to deliver 2 breaths.

  3. C

    Give 1 breath every 6 seconds.

  4. D

    Give 1 breath every 2 seconds while compressions continue.

  5. E

    Stop compressions between each breath.

An unresponsive adult has no definite pulse, and the monitor shows a chaotic waveform without organized QRS complexes. Which immediate action best matches the arrest pathway?

  1. A

    Use synchronized cardioversion and wait for a pulse check before resuming compressions.

  2. B

    Deliver a defibrillation shock as soon as the device is ready, then resume CPR immediately.

  3. C

    Do not shock; provide atropine and observe for organized QRS complexes.

  4. D

    Use synchronized cardioversion only if the waveform becomes regular.

    15 compressions to 2 breaths

  2. B

    30 compressions to 2 breaths

  3. C

    30 compressions to 1 breath

A patient is unresponsive and pulseless, but the monitor shows an organized narrow-complex rhythm. Which action is appropriate?

  1. A

    Defibrillate immediately, then pause CPR until a pulse returns

  2. B

    Use synchronized cardioversion because the rhythm is organized

  3. C

    Continue CPR, give epinephrine as soon as feasible, and search for reversible causes

  4. D

    Observe the rhythm because organized electrical activity indicates perfusion

A patient has a regular narrow-complex tachycardia, marked hypotension, and confusion, but still has a pulse. What is the immediate treatment priority?

  1. A

    Prepare synchronized cardioversion; sedate if feasible without delaying urgent treatment

  2. B

    Give adenosine before deciding whether the patient is stable

  3. C

    Defibrillate with an unsynchronized shock because the rate is fast

An alert patient has a pulse and maintained blood pressure, with a regular, monomorphic wide-complex tachycardia. Which approach best fits the stable wide-QRS pathway?

  1. A

    Assume the rhythm is benign and discharge if the patient remains alert

  2. B

    Give adenosine for any wide-complex rhythm, regardless of regularity or morphology

  3. C

    Continue close monitoring, seek expert consultation, and consider an antiarrhythmic infusion

  4. D

    Perform immediate unsynchronized defibrillation because every wide-complex rhythm is pulseless VT
