Propranolol (Inderol®)
d)
Atropine sulfate

10.
Two nurses are performing CPR for a patient who recently coded. One nurse is performing compressions and another nurse is doing rescue breathing with a mask. The nurse performing compressions has just finished with the 30th compression. Which action should be performed next?
a)
The nurse performing compressions should immediately perform a compression and restart counting compressions at number 1
b)
The nurse working with the defibrillator should charge the defibrillator and prepare to shock the patient.
c)
The nurse doing rescue breathing should give 2 breaths
d)
The nurse performing compressions should continue giving compressions and continue counting the 31st compression.
