a. Hierarchical intervention
b. Constructive intervention
c. Closed-loop communication
d. MYOB protocol

Answer

c. Closed-loop communication

Rationale

D. Rationale: The priority-based multiple-rescuer response protocol provides a seamless transition of roles as team members arrive on the scene. Before any resuscitation, each team member already knows their assigned roles. However, it is unlikely that all team members will arrive at the scene simultaneously. Therefore, the leader prioritizes the sequence of events, particularly following the Circulation-Airway-Breathing sequence/order of importance. Roles are adjusted as each member arrives on the scene.

Question

Which of the following is a technique used to provide a seamless transition of roles as resuscitation team members arrive at the scene?

a. Time-sensitive integrated team-based protocol
b. First-come role assumption protocol
c. Priority-based role protocol
d. A priority-based multiple-rescuer response protocol

Answer

d. A priority-based multiple-rescuer response protocol

Rationale

C. Rationale: There are eight techniques for successful communication before, during, and after performing resuscitation. These include: (1) being clear on roles and responsibilities, (2) recognizing limitations, (3) performing constructive intervention, (4) communicating knowledge and sharing, (5) summarizing and reevaluating, (6) performing closed-loop communication, (7) using clear messages, and (8) practicing mutual respect.

Question

Which of the following is one of the eight techniques of successful communication?

a. Assuming all responsibilities
b. Practicing seniority
c. Closed-loop communication
d. Commanding self-respect

Answer

c. Closed-loop communication
