gracy says
Jeff , do you give epi in-between giving amiodarone. In the scenarios you give, its always give amio then repeated. Ex: shock,cpr,check rhythm, shock,cpr then epi then check rhythm, shock, cpr then amio, check rhythm shock then CPR then amio again?
Jeff with admin. says
Once the first dose of epinephrine is given after the 2nd shock, it is on it’s own time table and is not dependent on any other action in the flow of care. It is given on its own time table of every 3-5 minutes. When the recorder states “3 minutes has passed since the last dose of epinephrine”, you would give the epinephrine as soon as the next cycle of CPR begins.
Kind regards,
Jeff

About Q.9
Not all cardiac arrests result from TV/PVT, so early defribilation isn’t always the most important goal.
Tom says
Agreed, their answer is not correct.
Jeff with admin. says
The question specifically identifies “witnessed sudden cardiac arrest.” The most common cause of “witnessed sudden cardiac arrest” is VF and this is best treated with early defibrillation. Kind regards, Jeff
Cubfan1975 says
2 of these questions should be looked at, as one asks what is not part of the BLS survey and the answer is open the airway while another questions ask what is the correct sequence of events for the BLS survey and the correct answer has open the airway listed second…..Perhaps it should be reworded? Or maybe I am reading it incorrectly?
Jeff with admin. says
The Guidelines for CPR and the BLS survey are not the same thing. Review BLS and ACLS Survey to more fully understand the ACLS and BLS survey. Understanding the difference in the BLS survey and CPR is foundational. The acronym for the BLS survey is 1,2,3,4 and the acronym for CPR is CAB. Make sure that you review the link above.
Kind regards,
Jeff
derekmendoza says
And on pg. 12 the acronym for BLS is no longer represented by A,B,C,D, but by the numbers 1,2,3,4 instead.

Thanks for pointing out my mistake in the comments. You are correct, I inadvertently entered this in the comment.
I have changed this comment to reflect the correct information.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

vey interesting thou some tricky questions
sikhumbuzo g monatsana says
very *spelling error*
Jeff with admin. says
Please if you see any spelling errors point them out and I will get them corrected. I appreciate spelling police : )
Debbie says
I think that question #9 needs to be addressed. As it is stated, it implies that if you witness sudden cardiac arrest, you should leave the victim and locate an AED. While I agree that an AED is necessary for resuscitation for V-fib or PVT, a first responder needs to know that initiating CPR is the most important 1st step. An AED is only part of the steps needed to be taken for early intervention. The first step, in my opinion, should be to initiate chest compressions. Understanding the possible reasons why most suffer cardiac arrest should not take precedence over the basics of witnessing someone suffer a cardiac event, and then conceivably deny them basic resuscitation. The AED would need to analyze before a shock would be delivered. If it determines a shock is not necessary, precious time would be wasted by not starting chest compressions. Hospital or non-hospital, an AED takes time to arrive on the scene. Maybe rewording this question would make better sense? Thanks for your consideration!
Jeff with admin. says
Thanks for the insight and comment. This is definitely something that should be of importance. This question is a direct quote from the manual and is specifically talking about the most important intervention to achieve ROSC. Kind regards, Jeff
Mindy Bontrager says
Agreed the opportunity to defribrillate requires preparation time. Often times these questions require assumptions, other times they forbid them. In this case, I believe it is proper to assume that if I were the witness, I have already applied, activated, and rhythm was analyzed by AED. If there was any time for chest compressions before, or while I set up the AED… I would be doing them, but I would break that process as soon as the defribrillator was charged and ready. Real life is never as clear cut as the scenarios try to prepare us.
I love the drills and the trial questions. Thank you for all you have done to help others…. help others!
MaryW says
I agree Debbie. I missed this question for the exact same reason.
Typhoon King says
Tnx so much admin for creating this website, it really gives me a BIG help… Godbless u more…..
Jeff with admin. says
So glad you like the site and that it’s helpful for you. Kind regards, Jeff
frances says
very nice! Never had acls test before! thanks!
yrrehSillenipS says
Very helpful test.
goar0701 says
Question # 8. I think this question needs to be more specific according with the scenario, because if the patient is in CARDIAC arrest he needs to receive 1 ventilation every 6 to 8 seconds (8-10 breaths/minute), but if the patient is in RESPIRATORY arrest he needs to receive 1 ventilation every 5 to 6 seconds (10 -12 breaths/minute)
janisemorris says
However, if you are in respiratory arrest and not cardiac arrest, you may not need to give chest compressions. You do not give compressions to someone with a palpable pulse. You maintain airway. Though, you could be in both I suppose in this question… But that was my rationale.
Meg says
Excellent! I will recommend this to my colleagues
LesiaRN says
I recommend this website to all of my colleagues.Very through and helpful material.
Dave ED RN says
Isn’t this part of the same scenario ?
Jeff with admin. says
I am not sure which question that you were referencing. When you ask a question on one of the practice tests please reference the question number you are addressing.
Kind regards,
Jeff

this comment has nothing to do with the questions, it has to do with how much I love the website, and how impressive it is . I used it in 2013, and now again in 2015, its the best money I have spent in a long time , it is well worth it. Of course I got 100 percent on my test in 2013, thank you Jeff for putting this website together, i do want to mention one thing though, in 2013, i wrote the website address down in my notes , this year when i tried to put the url in,, i did not get to this website, but a different one. it was only after, googling different
acls help that it popped up, so Jeff check it out, it could be i did not have a dash where it should be. thanks again, Roxane
Jeff with admin. says
It is common for people to forget to put the hyphen between the two words acls-algorithms. Thanks for the feedback. I am so glad that the site has been helpful for you. Kind regards, Jeff
adeline says
some answers are questionable
Jeff with admin. says
All of the questions and answers are created from content in the AHA ACLS provider manual. If you click on the rational button at the top of the quiz, you can find the direct page number in the provider manual to gain a better understanding of the concepts.
If you are not sure on something, please comment about the specific question and give the question number. I will take a look at the question to see if it can be modified.
Thank you for the feedback.
Kind regards,
Jeff
