Question

after a shock is delivered, cpr resumes immediately. what action also needs to be performed at this time? choose the correct answer administer amiodarone or lidocaine consider an advanced airway establish iv/io access perform a second rhythm check

Explanation:

In advanced cardiac life - support (ACLS), after a shock is delivered and CPR resumes, establishing IV/IO (intravenous/intra - osseous) access is crucial for administering medications promptly. Administering amiodarone or lidocaine is not an immediate action right after shock and resuming CPR. Considering an advanced airway may be done later in the resuscitation process. Performing a second rhythm check is not the immediate next step right after resuming CPR.

Answer:

Establish IV/IO access
