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 92% on your ability to identify these
rhythms.

The Pharmacology section tested your ability to identify drugs used in clinical situations. You
scored 50% 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 72% 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: 100% (1/1)
BLS Healthcare Provider Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Algorithm for the Single Rescuer: 100% (2/2)
Pediatric Bradycardia With a Pulse and Poor Perfusion Algorithm: 66% (2/3)
Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Algorithm: 66% (4/6)
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:

Tachycardia: 88% (8/9)
Team dynamics: 100% (1/1)
Upper airway obstruction: 0% (0/1)
Ventricular fibrillation: 100% (4/4)

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)
