The Rhythm Identification section tested your ability to identify the basic core rhythms used in
the ACLS Provider Course and written exam. You scored 80% on your ability to identify
these rhythms.
The Pharmacology section tested your ability to identify drugs used in clinical situations. You

The Practical Application section tested your ability to identify a rhythm and then choose the
correct action or drug. This is what you will be expected to do in the learning stations and the
Megacode Testing Station. You scored 80% on your ability to select a treatment or
intervention after identifying the rhythm.
Here is how you scored on the algorithms:
The questions tested your knowledge of material in the ACLS Core Cases. If you scored
low in a case, review it and the drugs and series and sequence of interventions used in the
case.
The questions tested pharmacology material in the ACLS Core Cases. If you scored low on
certain drug knowledge, review the drug and make sure you know how and when the drug
is used in the algorithm. Also, know the dose used in the specific situations, such as the
use of atropine in PEA versus ACS, or the dose ranges of dopamine and epinephrine used
for bradycardia.
