Advanced Cardiac Life Support
(ACLS) Practice Questions 2025/2026
1. A patient with suspected ACS is placed on a cardiac monitor. The
patient's blood pressure is 90/60 mmHg. Which medication would be
most appropriate for this patient?
Answer: Intravenous fluids (to improve blood pressure).
2. During the assessment of a patient, a healthcare provider notes
chest pain that radiates to the left arm. What is the most
appropriate initial intervention?
Answer: Administer aspirin (unless contraindicated).
3. A patient is being treated for acute pulmonary edema. Which
position should the healthcare provider place the patient in for
optimal comfort and oxygenation?
Answer: Sitting upright with feet dangling.

  1. A patient with suspected ACS is placed on a cardiac monitor. The patient's blood pressure is 90/60 mmHg. Which medication would be most appropriate for this patient? Answer: Intravenous fluids (to improve blood pressure).
  2. During the assessment of a patient, a healthcare provider notes chest pain that radiates to the left arm. What is the most appropriate initial intervention? Answer: Administer aspirin (unless contraindicated).
  3. A patient is being treated for acute pulmonary edema. Which position should the healthcare provider place the patient in for optimal comfort and oxygenation? Answer: Sitting upright with feet dangling.
  1. In a patient with a suspected acute coronary syndrome, which laboratory test is essential for confirming myocardial ischemia? Answer: Cardiac troponin levels.
  2. During CPR, chest compressions should be delivered at a depth of at least how many inches? Answer: At least 2 inches.
  3. A patient presents with altered mental status and signs of hypoperfusion. The provider suspects shock. What is the most appropriate first step in management? Answer: Establish intravenous access and administer fluids.
  4. What is the significance of a heart rate greater than 150 beats per minute in a patient with tachycardia and dyspnea? Answer: Potentially indicates a significant cardiovascular compromise.
  5. During intubation, what is the most critical consideration to ensure proper placement of the endotracheal tube? Answer: Confirm the tube is in the trachea by auscultation and capnography.
  1. In the case of a respiratory failure, which arterial blood gas (ABG) finding would indicate hypercapnia? Answer: An elevated arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) level.
  2. A healthcare provider is preparing to administer nitroglycerin to a patient with chest pain. What is an essential check before administration? Answer: Confirm the patient's blood pressure is above 90/60 mmHg.
  3. In a patient experiencing hypertensive crisis, which medication class is typically used for immediate management? Answer: Antihypertensives (e.g., nitroglycerin or labetalol).
  4. For a patient undergoing synchronized cardioversion, which rhythm indicates the need for immediate action? Answer: Atrial fibrillation with significant symptoms (e.g., hypotension).
  5. During a code blue scenario, what is the first step after confirming unresponsiveness of the patient? Answer: Call for help and activate the emergency response team.
  1. When a patient presents with dyspnea and wheezing, what initial management should be prioritized? Answer: Administer bronchodilators (e.g., albuterol).
  2. In a suspected anaphylactic reaction, which medication is lifesaving and should be administered immediately? Answer: Epinephrine.
  3. A patient with acute coronary syndrome is experiencing nausea. Which medication can be administered to help alleviate this symptom? Answer: Ondansetron (Zofran).
  4. In assessing a patient with pneumonia, what is an expected finding on lung examination? Answer: Dullness to percussion over affected lung areas.
  5. What is the optimal head tilt-chin lift maneuver used for in unconscious patients? Answer: To maintain a patent airway.
  1. What is the significance of a decreased cardiac output in a patient? Answer: It can lead to inadequate tissue perfusion and shock.
  2. In a resuscitation scenario, what is the recommended compression rate for adults? Answer: 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
  3. A patient in respiratory distress is experiencing a paradoxical pulse. What does this indicate? Answer: Possibly cardiac tamponade or significant respiratory distress.
  4. If a patient exhibits severe agitation and confusion, what is the initial suspected cause? Answer: Hypoxia or hypercapnia.
  5. In managing a patient with a suspected drug overdose, what is the priority intervention? Answer: Airway management and monitoring vital signs.
  6. How is the effectiveness of CPR monitored? Answer: By assessing for signs of circulation and capnography values.
  1. What is a common side effect when administering adenosine for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)? Answer: A brief period of asystole or bradycardia.
  2. In a cardiac patient, an increase in central venous pressure (CVP) indicates what? Answer: Fluid overload or right heart failure.
  3. If a patient has sinus tachycardia with a heart rate of 130 bpm but is otherwise stable, what does this usually signify? Answer: Physiological response to stress or pain.
  4. During a code, which position should the patient be in before administering a shock? Answer: Supine, clear of any objects on or around them.
  5. A patient with acute exacerbation of COPD is put on a non- rebreather mask. What is an expected outcome? Answer: Improved oxygen saturation.
  6. In a cardiac arrest situation, what is the target end-tidal CO (ETCO2) during CPR? Answer: 10 to 20 mmHg.
  1. When characterizing bowel sounds in a patient with abdominal pain and rigidity, what finding is suggestive of an obstruction? Answer: High-pitched tinkling sounds.
  2. What initial evaluation should be performed for a patient with suspected pericarditis? Answer: ECG to check for characteristic changes.
  3. How can healthcare providers assess for adequate perfusion during cardiac resuscitation? Answer: By checking the patient's pulse quality and skin color.
  4. What clinical sign might indicate the presence of a tension pneumothorax in a patient? Answer: Tracheal deviation away from the affected side.
  5. In a patient with severe bradycardia associated with signs of shock, which is the most appropriate medication to administer? Answer: Atropine.
