Rhythm ID Pharmacology Practical Application

Scores in Major Testing Areas

This Precourse Self-Assessment had 3 sections.

The Rhythm Identification section tested your ability to identify the basic core rhythms
used in the PALS Provider Course and written exam. You scored 100% on your ability
to identify these rhythms.

The Pharmacology section tested your ability to identify drugs used in clinical situations.
You scored 90% on your ability to identify these drugs or interventions and doses.

The Practical Application section tested your ability to identify a rhythm and then choose
the correct action or drug. This is what you will be expected to do in the learning stations
and the case scenario testing. You scored 86% on your ability to select a treatment
or intervention after identifying the rhythm.

Score in Algorithms:

The questions tested your knowledge of material in the PALS Algorithms. If you scored
low in an algorithm, review it and the drugs and sequence of interventions in the algorithm.

Here is how you scored on the algorithms:

BLS Healthcare Provider Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Algorithm for 2 or More Rescuers: 0%
(0/1)
BLS Healthcare Provider Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Algorithm for the Single Rescuer: 50%
(1/2)
Pediatric Bradycardia With a Pulse and Poor Perfusion Algorithm: 100% (3/3)
Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Algorithm: 100% (6/6)
Pediatric Tachycardia With a Pulse and Poor Perfusion Algorithm: 100% (1/1)

Score in Case Material:

The questions tested your knowledge of material in the PALS case scenarios. If you
scored low in a case, review it and the drugs and series and sequence of interventions
used in the case.

Here is how you scored on the cases:

1-rescuer child CPR: 50% (1/2)

2-rescuer infant CPR: 0% (0/1)

Score in Pharmacology Material:

The questions tested your knowledge of pharmacology material in the PALS case
scenarios. If you scored low on certain drug knowledge, review the drug and make sure
you know how and when the drug is used in the algorithm. Also, know the dose used in
specific situations, such as atropine in PEA.

Here is how you scored on drugs:

Adenosine: 100% (1/1)

Albuterol: 100% (1/1)
Amiodarone: 100% (1/1)
Atropine: 100% (1/1)
Calcium chloride: 100% (1/1)
Epinephrine: 100% (3/3)
General pharmacology: 100% (1/1)
Isotonic crystalloid: 100% (2/2)
Lidocaine: 100% (1/1)
Magnesium sulfate: 100% (1/1)
Oxygen: 100% (2/2)
