The best answer is: no

Once your contract to provide health care services to a patient has been terminated (by the patient or their legally empowered agent), they not only have removed your authority to treat, but they have removed your legal duty to treat. In this case, they would have no legal basis to take action against you. On the other hand, if your services were terminated, and you decided to ignore and continue to treat the patient, several causes of action against you might be created.

The best answer is: all of the above

Paddles should have conductive media on their surface covering the entire paddle surface or the silicone pads should be used. Never use alcohol patches.

Standard paddles (operator held) should be placed on the patient's chest using 15 pounds of pressure.

Paddles should not be in contact with each other. (e.g. fluid presence, etc.)

The best answer is: false

There is no published evidence that the larger-sized defibrillators are any more effective than the smaller AED units. All AED units employ biphasic technology, thus, may be safer than using the older, non-biphasic, conventional defibrillator. The benefit of using a regular-sized defibrillator is the ECG monitor. The vast majority of AEDs do not provide a LED screen to visualize the ECG pattern.

The best answer is: check the tube placement

Because the endotracheal tube can be inserted too far and end-up sealed in the right bronchus, it is essential to check the ET tube placement when breath sounds are absent on the left side. If the breath sounds are absent on the right side of the intubated patients chest, the cause is likely a pneumothorax.

The best answer is: fluid boluses are administered

When a patient has narrow QRS tachycardia and signs of hypovolemia, rapid administration of fluid is indicated. Usually 100 ml boluses of 0.9% saline are given until improvement is observed, or until the heart rate increases and/or signs of CHF occur.
