Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) indicates that the patient has regained a perfusing rhythm. If the patient is pushing away the BVM, this suggests improving mental status and spontaneous respirations.
Option D is correct because NREMT post-resuscitation care requires EMTs to reassess airway, breathing, and circulation, including confirming a pulse, and transition from assisted ventilations to supplemental oxygen if the patient is breathing adequately.
Options A and B are inappropriate because restraining a post-ROSC patient is rarely indicated and may worsen agitation.
Option C omits reassessment of circulation, which is critical after ROSC.
NREMT stresses frequent reassessment and supportive care following successful resuscitation.
