Ace your Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification with this comprehensive study guide. It
includes 52 questions and verified answers covering core algorithms, pharmacology, and ECG
rhythms, helping you study effectively and pass your AHA precourse self-assessment on the first try.
Why Choose This PALS Pretest?
• Verified, Accurate Answers: Every question is meticulously reviewed against the current
American Heart Association (AHA) PALS guidelines to ensure clinical accuracy.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Features 52 exam-style questions spanning all three
crucial sections of the PALS precourse self-assessment: ECG Rhythm Identification,
Pharmacology, and Practical Application.
• Time-Saving Prep: Skip the stress and bypass endless textbook flipping. Use this resource
to quickly identify your knowledge gaps before your official provider course.
What Topics Are Covered?
• PALS Systematic Approach: Primary assessments (Airway, Breathing, Circulation).
• ECG Rhythm Identification: SVT, Sinus Bradycardia, Ventricular Fibrillation, and PEA.
• Pediatric Pharmacology: Correct weight-based dosing for Epinephrine, Amiodarone, and
Adenosine.
• Cardiac Arrest & Resuscitation Algorithms: Shock/cardioversion energy doses and
compression-to-ventilation ratios.
Who Needs This?
This material is tailored perfectly for healthcare professionals preparing to pass the mandatory PALS
precourse self-assessment before taking the full AHA Provider Course or Recertification. Ideal for
nurses, paramedics, physicians, and respiratory therapists.

, Quiz_________________?
A 1-year-old boy is brought to the ED for evaluation of poor feeding, irritability, and
sweating. The child is lethargic but arousable. He has labored breathing, very rapid pulses,
and a dusky color. His RR is 68 bpm, HR 300 bpm, and BP 70/45 mmHg. He has weak
brachial pulses and absent radial pulses, a capillary refill of 6 secs, SpO2 85% on room air,
and good bilateral breath sounds. You administer high-flow oxygen and place the child on a
cardiac monitor and see the rhythm shown here. The child has no history of congenital
heart disease. IV access has been established. What therapy is most appropriate for this
child? -
Answer✅
adenosine 0.1mg/kg IV rapid push
Quiz_________________?
A 3-year-old boy presents with multiple-system trauma. The child was an unrestrained
passenger in a high-speed MVC. On primary assessment, he is unresponsive to voice or
painful stimulation. His RR is 5 bpm, HR and pulses are 170 bpm, SBP is 60 mmHg, capillary
refill is 5 secs, and SpO2 is 75% on room air. What action should you take first? -
Answer✅
while a colleague provides spinal motion restriction, open the airway with a jaw thrust and
provide bag-mask ventilation
Quiz_________________?
A 3-year-old unresponsive, apneic child is brought to the ED. EMS personnel report that the
child became unresponsive as they arrived at the hospital. The child is receiving CPR with
bag-mask ventilation. The rhythm shown here is on the cardiac monitor. A biphasic manual
defibrillator is present. You quickly use the length from head to hell of the child on a color-
coded length-based resuscitation tape to estimate the approximate weight as 15kg. What
therapy is most appropriate for this child at this time? -
Answer✅
attempt defibrillation at 30J, and then resume CPR, beginning with compressions
