What Is Gross Income? Your gross income is the amount of money you earn before anything is taken out for taxes or other deductions. For example, even though your monthly salary might be $3,500, you might only receive a check for $2,500. In that case, your net income would be $2,500, but your gross income is $3,500.
Follow the ACLS Pulseless Arrest Algorithm. 1  Begin CPR as soon as pulselessness is recognized. 2  Compressors should be switched every 2 minutes to ensure efficacy of compressions. 3  Ventilate the patient using a Bag Valve Mask (or advanced airway if already in place) at a rate of 10 per minute.
This case will test your knowledge of several different ACLS pathways. Be aware of when the algorithm is changing. Pay attention to both the patient and the rhythm. There will be 19 questions at the end of this test. You should repeat this test periodically to reinforce your ability and confidence to handle situations such as this one. Your patient arrives in the Emergency Department complaining of chest pressure and weakness. She is a 78-year-old woman with a PMH of Type II Diabetes Mellitus and hypertension.
