Scores for Major Testing Areas
This precourse self-assessment has 3 sections covering these major testing areas:
The Rhythm Identification section tested your ability to identify the basic core
rhythms used in the PALS Provider Course and written exam. You scored 92% on
Rhythm Identification.
The Pharmacology section tested your ability to identify drugs used in clinical
situations. You scored 100% on Pharmacology.
The Practical Application section tested your ability to identify a rhythm and then
choose the correct action or drug, as you will be expected to do in the learning
stations and the Megacode Testing Station. You scored 93% on Practical Application.
The diagnosis questions tested your knowledge of material found in PALS core
cases. If you scored low on a diagnosis question, review the case, including the
drugs and the series and sequence of interventions used in the case.
The algorithm questions tested your knowledge of material found in PALS core
algorithms. If you scored low on an algorithm question, review the algorithm,
including the drugs and the sequence of interventions in the algorithm.
Pediatric Bradycardia With a Pulse and Poor Perfusion Algorithm: 100% (Question:
3/3)
Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Algorithm: 83% (Question: 5/6)

is used as well as what dose to use in specific situations, such as atropine for PEA vs
ACS, or dopamine and epinephrine for bradycardia.
