Jeopardy for CPR

Expressions

100

Opioids are substances that act on opioid receptors to produce morphine-like effects.

Define Opioid?

200

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a rapid, life-threatening heart rhythm starting in the bottom chambers of the heart. It can be triggered by a heart attack.

Define Ventricular Fibrillation?

300

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a medical device designed to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to victims of ventricular fibrillation to restore the heart rhythm to normal. Ventricular fibrillation is the uncoordinated heart rhythm most often responsible for sudden cardiac arrest.

Define AED?

400

Basic Life Support, or BLS, generally refers to the type of care that first-responders, healthcare providers and public safety professionals provide to anyone who is experiencing cardiac arrest, respiratory distress or an obstructed airway.

Define BLS assessment.?

500

Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids—including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications—when given in time.

Define Naloxone?

Begginings

100

The first responsibility you get at a scene

What is Personal Safety.

200

To observe standard precautions means?

To follow a set of infection control practices used whether or not an infection is suspected.

300

High - performance CPR includes?

High-quality CPR performance metrics include: Chest compression fraction >80% Compression rate of 100-120/min. Compression depth of at least 50 mm (2 inches) in adults and at least 1/3 the AP dimension of the chest in infants and children.

400

Which of the following statments about DNR orders are false. A. A DNR order requires a signature from a physician. 

B. You do not actually have to see the order, verbal comfirmation from a family member is sufficient. 

C. Mentally competent patients may refuse care.

What is Answer B. You do not actually have to see the order, verbal comfirmation from a family member is sufficient.

500

Scope of practice describes the services that a qualified health professional is deemed competent to perform, and permitted to undertake – in keeping with the terms of their professional license

Define Scope of Practice.

Medical/Legal

100

the act of leaving someone or something or of ending or stopping something, usually forever

Define Abandonment.

200

Implied consent, compared to express consent (where consent is directly and clearly given with explicit words), is the agreement given by a person's action (even just a gesture) or inaction, or can be inferred from certain circumstances by any reasonable person.

Define implied consent.

300

failure to take proper care in doing something.

What is Negligence.

400

Good Samaritan laws give liability protection against "ordinary negligence." Ordinary negligence is the failure to act as a reasonably prudent person. It is the failure to exercise such care as the great mass of humanity ordinarily applies under the same or similar circumstances.

What is Good Samaritan law.

500

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient's consent or knowledge.

What is HIPAA.

Anatomy

100

The SA (sinoatrial) node generates an electrical signal that causes the upper heart chambers (atria) to contract. The signal then passes through the AV (atrioventricular) node to the lower heart chambers (ventricles), causing them to contract, or pump. The SA node is considered the pacemaker of the heart.

What is SA Node.

200

What are the 4 chambers of the heart

What is right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle.

300

The airway, or respiratory tract, describes the organs of the respiratory tract that allow airflow during ventilation. [1][2][3]They reach from the nares and buccal opening to the blind end of the alveolar sacs. They are subdivided into different regions with various organs and tissues to perform specific functions.

What is the Airway.

400

Definitions of femoral pulse. pulse of the femoral artery (felt in the groin) type of: heart rate, pulse, pulse rate. the rate at which the heart beats; usually measured to obtain a quick evaluation of a person's health.

What is femoral pulse.

500

A respiratory arrest is a medical event where the ability of a person to breathe stops. It is also called “respiratory failure”. According to MerckManuals.com, without intervention, within around 5 minutes, organs, including the brain, will experience irreversible damage

What is Respiratory Arrest.

Misc.

100

Secondary cardiac arrest is different because it results from a problem originating outside of the heart. For example, secondary cardiac arrest can result from drowning, narcotic-like drugs or respiratory (lung) failure.

What is Secondary Cardiac Arrest.

200

Part of pre-intubation and emergency rescue breathing procedures, the head tilt–chin lift maneuver and the jaw-thrust maneuver are 2 noninvasive, manual means to help restore upper airway patency when the tongue occludes the glottis, which commonly occurs in an obtunded or unconscious patient.

What is Head Tilt-Chin Lift

300

Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that cause disease and are present in human blood. They include but are not limited to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV).

What is Bloodborne Pathogens.

400

A basic CPR skill that creates increased pressure in the chest cavity and direct compression of the heart. This forces blood to move from the chest to the lungs, brain, and rest of the body?

What is Chest Compressions.

500

The most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest is an irregular heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation. Rapid, erratic heart signals cause the lower heart chambers to quiver uselessly instead of pumping blood. Certain heart conditions can make you more likely to have this type of heartbeat problem.

What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
