Naloxone must be administered to a patient in cardiac arrest?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Naloxone is not typically administered to a patient in cardiac arrest. Naloxone is a medication used to reverse the effects of opioid overdose by blocking the opioid receptors in the brain. It is not effective in treating cardiac arrest, which is when the heart stops beating. In cardiac arrest, immediate CPR and defibrillation are the primary interventions. Naloxone may be used in cases where opioid overdose is suspected as the cause of the cardiac arrest, but it is not the first-line treatment for cardiac arrest itself.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not how a team leader should be selected?
- A.
Willing
- B.
Competent
- C.
Clearly identified
- D.
Incompetent
Correct Answer
D. IncompetentExplanation
A team leader should possess certain qualities such as willingness, competence, and being clearly identified. These qualities are essential for effective leadership. However, being incompetent goes against the criteria for selecting a team leader. Incompetence implies a lack of skills, knowledge, or ability to effectively lead a team, which can hinder team productivity and success. Therefore, selecting an incompetent individual as a team leader would be counterproductive and not in line with the desired qualities for effective leadership.Rate this question:

The “ROAD” to high quality CPR includes which of the following?
- A.
Rate: 100 to 140 compressions/min.
- B.
On: a soft, flat surface
- C.
Allow: full chest recoil between each compression
- D.
Depth: at least 2.5” in adults, at least ¼ the depth of the child or infant’s check
Correct Answer
C. Allow: full chest recoil between each compressionExplanation
The correct answer is to allow full chest recoil between each compression. This means that after each compression during CPR, the rescuer should release pressure completely to allow the chest to fully recoil before starting the next compression. This is important because it allows the heart to refill with blood, improving the effectiveness of compressions and increasing the chances of a successful resuscitation.Rate this question:
