Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. James et al. (2013) research finds the number of premature deaths associated with preventable patient harm was estimated at more than _____________ per year.” 5 100 3,000 400,000
2. More than half of in-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCA) results from respiratory failure or hypovolemic shock, which of the following changes in physiology foreshadow most of these events? Tachypnea Tachycardia Hypotension All of the following
3. During CPR, coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) correlates with both: Myocardial blood flow and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) Rate and depth Hand and body position Cardiac arrest location and time
4. Studies have shown that it is common for medical providers to ventilate patients too quickly, as hyperventilation brings down carbon dioxide levels leading to: Cerebral ischemia Pulmonary hypertension Arrhythmias Peripheral artery disease
5. Capnography can be a tool to guide compression depth, as an __________ in carbon dioxide trends can indicate a positive response to deeper compressions. Increase Reduction Diminished Drop
