For question #5, I thought the “ABCs” or the new “CABs” are ACLS survey while the BLS survey is to check responsiveness, activate AED, circulation and then Defibrillation
Jeff with admin. says
You can find a review of the BLS and ACLS Survey here.
CAB is the CPR sequence not the BLS Survey.
Kind regards,
Jeff
roxy says
as indicated in the rational, an oral pharyngeal is a basic airway not advanced.
AUJERE says
Why on question 8 during “c”, is iv access etc. the correct answer? I thought “c” always starts now with compressions, pulse check etc. Are we reading the questions wrong?
Jeff with admin. says
This question is specifically asking a question about the ACLS survey. You can see an outline of the ACLS Survey on pg. 15-16 of the AHA ACLS manual.
Under the (C) Circulation section of the ACLS Survey the following actions are listed:
I believe you were referring to was the CAB of CPR. Circulation, Airway, Breathing of CPR is really just a way to remember the order of CPR and does not have to do with the ACLS Survey.
There are 3 general things within ACLS that can be a bit confusing. I will list each one below so that you can differentiate.
Kind regards,
Jeff
lisavls says
Excellent clarification, thx
lrichard says
Question 8 deals with The ACLS survey in which case it is Airway Breathing Circulation (IV/IO access, cardiac rhythm EKG, Medications and Fluid Resusciation.
savvygirl says
because everything listed in that answer is relevant to maintaining circulation.
IV- circulatory hydration, electrolytes, meds, etc
EKG- cardiac ( pump function) to promote circulation
Medications promote circulation by promoting pump function
Defibrillator = electricity =pump function=circulation
paldarling says
in question #8 how do you monitor rhythm while compression are in progress?
Jeff with admin. says
You would have to monitor the rhythm after each cycle of chest compressions when you do a rhythm check.
Regards,
Jeff
Grape123 says
So you stop compressions to check the rhythm, it can’t be done during compressions?
Jeff with admin. says
That is correct. You must stop chest compressions to perform a rhythm check.
Kind regards,
Jeff
catmigrn says
This is taking the stress out of the test, thank you for providing this at such a low cost.
Anncrisp says
Re question #8/ quiz #3-
the question is asking about “circulation assessment” not intervention. Shouldn’t the answer be D. check pulse, monitor rhythm, CPR if indicated”??
Jeff with admin. says
I have reworded this question but removing the word assessment to try and make this easier to understand. Here is the new wording:
“During the (C) circulation portion of the ACLS survey, the following actions are carried out:”
See page 16 of the AHA ACLS provider manual which lays out the actions performed during the circulation (c) portion of the ACLS survey.
I have listed the actions here as well:
Monitor CPR Quality
Attach monitor defibrillator for arrhythmias or cardiac arrest rhythms.
Provide defibrillation/cardioversion
Obtain IV/IO access
Give appropriate drugs
Give IV/IO fluids if needed
Checking a pulse is considered part of the BLS survey. (see page 13 of provider manual)
Also you would be monitoring the quality of the CPR which would have already been initiated during the BLS Survey.
Kind regards,
Jeff

I am so happy I became a member. This information on this web site is excellent. i will definitely sign on for any future certification

Woohoo !
Pamela1 says
Confused, question 2
Correct answer is D
Rationale states not to be used on conscious patient
Am I missing something, rationale is contradicting the ‘correct’ answer
Jeff with admin. says
The question reads: “Which is not true about the oropharyngeal airway(OPA):”
All of the answers are true except for D. Answer D is “d. The OPA should only be used on a conscious patient.” This is NOT true.
Kind regards,
Jeff

Good review- my iPad not always taking touches
lorraineacls says
I answered A for defibrillation and it was wrong. It says the answer is C which is differential diagonosis?
Jeff with admin. says
The D in the ACLS Survey is Differential Diagnosis.
If you look at page 15-16 in the AHA ACLS provider manual you will see a table that shows the steps of the ACLS Survey.
Also, defibrillation is included in the “C” Circulation portion of the ACLS Survey.
Kind regards, Jeff
WOODSV1 says
WHAT EXACTLY IS DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS?
Jeff with admin. says
When someone’s clinical status is becoming poor or they have already developed respiratory or cardiac arrest, there will be an underlying cause for this. The underlying cause is the differential diagnosis.
The H’s and T’s help to identify the differential diagnosis.
Kind regards,
Jeff
bjsmith3 says
I’m a little confused about Question 5. Why is the answer A when the rationale says: The BLS Sequence change for CPR was changed from A-B-C-D to C-A-B-D (circulation, airway, breathing, defibrillation)?
Why is answer C wrong?
thanks!
Jeff with admin. says
Answer C states: Circulation, airway, breathing, and differential disgnosis
The differential diagnosis portion of this makes the answer incorrect. The correct D is defibrillation.
The correct choice would be (A) as it is circulation, airway, breathing, and defibrillation.
Differential diagnosis is found in the ACLS Survey not the BLS Survey.
Kind Regards, Jeff

I´m so glad with this page. THANKS
hunnie says
Is their someone pass their ACLS lately? any tips?is it really hard? I will be doing my 2 day course nextweek,Im anxious Hopefully I pass
Jeff with admin. says
Here is a page on the site will breaks down the site as a study guide.
It will guide you effectively through the site for full preparation for certification.
If you don’t get an answer right, first look at the rational and the if you still don’t understand something, feel free to make a comment and I will reply to you.
Also scan the comments and look for comments from “Jeff with admin.” When I comment, it is to answer questions that others have.
You are going to do great and ace the certification.
Regards, Jeff
