2010-2015 ACLS Guideline Changes. Are You Ready?
The 2015-2020 AHA Guidelines are now in effect. This practice test remains avaliable to members since most of the 2010 guideline changes remain in effect as well. All questions reflect accurate up-to-date information the with the 2015 guidelines.
Beginning in January 2010, all over the United States, health care providers have been integrating their practice to the new 2010-2015 ACLS Guidelines. There were significant changes made to several aspects of the ACLS protocol including, an addition of a 5th link in the chain of survival, waveform capnography, simplified pulseless arrest algorithm, simplified tachycardia algorithm, medication changes, and much more.
To assist you in preparation for ACLS certification and testing based on these 2010-2015 ACLS Guideline changes, we have created a 25 question test covering all of the major changes that you may run into during testing and certification.
Members may use the link below to access the 2010-2015 ACLS Guideline Changes Test.

Jeff, want you to know I passed my ACLS refresher course today after using your Web site for studiying. It helped immensely and I will recommend it to all the other nurses I work with. It helped me to understand what to do and why I’m doing it.
Sincerely, Brenda McGinnity RN

I passed my ACLS re-cert today thanks to this website! This is the second time I used it (initial certification) and I don’t think I would have passed it without the great information here! Thank you so much!

This is such a wonderful website for learning. It is super top-notch and better then the book . I will recommend this to my friends at work when we are preparing for ACLS.
Thank you, Laura

I just finished my ACLS today and passed. This is the second time using your site. Thank you for having this site available to help me visualize and relearn the information needed. I am a LDRP maternity nurse at a level one hospital and thankfully not having cardiac arrest, etc…pts. We do recover our pts after our c-sections, hence the need for ACLS. Thanks again 🙂

hi sir .. can we try giving iv amiodarone before synchronised cardioversion in case of stable ventricular tachycardia ?
Jeff with admin. says
If the patient is unstable then you do not use amiodarone, but go straight to cardioversion. If the patient is stable with our without symptoms, then amiodarone can be considered as an option. Use the algorithm flow chart to evaluate the patient. The Tachycardia with a pulse algorithm covers this and it should be followed in the case of stable or unstable tachycardia with a pulse.
Kind regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
This is my third time to renew my ACLS certification, my second being a member of this site. I only studied using this site and felt confident during the mock code and test. I did really well thanks to your site! I look forward to my renewal in 2017.

I remember years ago I have stumbled on your (at that time still being build) web site. You did an amazing job over the years by creating a truly work of art and a great tool to study for ACLS certification or re-cert. This is my 3rd or 4th time around to study for ACLS with you. You are mine “go to” study guide for ACLS, I hardly ever need a book or any other reference tools. You are my #1 recommended web site for every person who is facing certification or re-certification. So far, I have “A”ced all my passed re-certifications, all thanks to you and your team who put tremendous amount of time and effort into this web site.
Thank you, once again your student

Hi Tatiana,
Thanks for the encouragement and the feedback. I’m so glad that the site has been helpful to you over the years. I will always do my best to keep the site as efficient and up-to-date as possible. Kind regards, Jeff

Thank you for this fantastic website! I just finished my ACLS class and did very well. I have taken ACLS several times over the years as a medical specialty nurse on a telemetry unit. I felt very prepared for the test and the mock code session. Not only that, I have much more confidence in my CPR skills, reading rhythm strips, and the medication dosing and algorithms have actually jelled in my brain! Your sight was recommended to me and you can bet that your resource web site is the one I will recommend to my friends and coworkers. To be honest, it’s much better than the official book and much more interactive and interesting. You guys rock!
