dorrance says
later in one of the quiz questions, the answer to the same question is circulation airway breathing, so I’m not certain which is correct. In reality, aren’t circulation and compressions synonymous?
Jeff with admin. says
CAB or compressions, airway, breathing is only used as an acronym for the sequence of actions for initiating BLS CPR.
Kind regards,
Jeff
Pastora says
Thank s Jeff for this very helpful site, I am always excited to tell others how this has helped me, easy to to understand, indeed simplified

I’m tired missing to many questions and going to fast. This has been a lot of fun. You did well organizing the material. It’s very boring to look at algorithms and I do not do well at all. Thanks again.
LInda Ivker says
So far, Jeff, I’m having fun with the quizzes. Let’s see what happens next! Thanks so much for your assistance today.
Jeff with admin. says
Glad to help! Kind regards, Jeff
Eva says
Why the correct answer for question #8 is disability?
Jeff with admin. says
This question was in reference to the ACLS primary assessment. You can review the ACLS primary assessment details here: Systematic Approach
Kind regards, Jeff
Richard Cade says
Can you please go into more detail for Q4 please. My understanding on the new guidelines are, check safety, check for a pulse, no pulse straight into chest compressions then airway, breathing and so on until defib attached, then shock as soon as possible, as always.
Jeff with admin. says
The CAB sequence is specifically addressing the sequence of steps for CPR within the framework of BLS. It does not include what happens prior to initiating CPR.
Please let me know if you have any other questions about this.
Kind regards,
Jeff
Elaine McKinney says
Good study questions helps with recall and where to go back and review the question
constance.s@comcast.net says
Quiz #3 Question 7. It states on pg 39 of the ACLS provider manual that-For cardiac arrest patients, administer 100% oxygen. For others, titrate oxygen administration to achieve oxygen sat values of 94% or greater by pulse ox. So, the answer should be neither 1 or 2 because it does not include respiratory arrest.
Jeff with admin. says
Respiratory arrest is also treated with 100% oxygen. On page 44 under the respiratory arrest Primary assessment section, it states: “A respiratory rate below 6/min requires assisted ventilation with bag-mask device or advanced airway with 100% oxygen. Respiratory arrest will also always require 100% oxygen delivery.
Kind regards,
Jeff
holtheidi says
The answer indicated (green) for quiz question #10 is “disability” (?) I answered differential diagnosis and got it wrong. Not sure about this.
Thanks, Heidi
Jeff with admin. says
You need to review the page on the systematic approach to ACLS here. AHA changed the meaning of the ACRONYM and now the “differential diagnosis” is considered the Secondary Assessment of ACLS. This is all discussed on the Systematic Approach Page. Kind regards, Jeff
conniehepler says
For question 8, why don’t we include a pulse check and CPR if needed as part of the C(circulation) care? Thanks.
Jeff with admin. says
With regard to CPR and Pulse checks, this is placed within the BLS survey. For the Advanced provider using ACLS, the BLS survey and the ACLS survey are taking place at the same time. Read this page and it will help with your understanding: BLS/ACLS Survey
Julhag says
Hi Jeff,
Sorry, but have discovered another discrepancy. Test #3, question 4.
Pg 49 of AHA ACLS book says “use manual spinal restriction rather than immobilization”
Jeff with admin. says
The question reads: “When providing BLS/ACLS to a known or suspected cervical spine trauma which of the following is NOT correct when attempting to open the airway?” It is asking which is NOT correct. and the answer is “Use an immobilization device to stabilize the head” is NOT Correct.
Kind regards,
Jeff
Julhag says
Immobilization device ie, cervical collar may compromise the airway.
valrie martin says
on second thoughts maybe for ACLS it would be a cardiac emergecy so other situation would not apply. Sorry. Shoukld have thought it through before commenting.
valrie martin says
for question 7 the answer should be 3. cardiac arrest-100% and for anything else but cardiac arrest oxygen to 94%
Jeff with admin. says
The correct answer is #3 as you state. Not sure if there was a glitch that showed you something different.
1. When administering oxygen for cardiac arrest, administer 100% oxygen.
2. Other than cardiac arrest , administer oxygen to maintain O2 saturation value o≥ 94% by pulse oximetry
Kind regards
Jeff
ghthomason@comcast.net says
I thought the “D” stands for defib not diff dx.
Thanks,
Grace
Jeff with admin. says
Within the AC LS survey, the D stands for differential diagnosis this page will give you a review of both the BLS survey and the ACLS survey:
Kind regards,
Jeff
Blonde4fun says
Thanks for all of your explanations which help when I miss the correct answer. Are the questions generally in the same category of the ACLS written exam itself? Trying to stay focused on the most important details without getting bogged down in incidental information. Thanks for all you do to help us learn and understand ACLS.
Jeff with admin. says
All of the questions in this section of the site incorporate information directly from the AHA ACLS provider manual. You will find it to be pertinent for certification.
Kind regards,
Jeff
