Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) involves the systematic administration of drugs that affect the cardiovascular system. CPR does not involve the administration of medication and defibrillation relies on electrical stimulation rather than pharmacological interventions. Rapid cardiac assessment is not a discrete component of the Chain of Survival.

Answer to Question 2

C
Pulmonary edema occurs when serous fluid shifts rapidly into pulmonary interstitial tissue and alveoli, severely impairing gas exchange; this condition is life-threatening.
