Which condition is most consistent with your assessment? blood glucose Correct Answer An 8 year old child is brought to the emergency department with a 2 day history of lethargy and polyuria. The child has new onset rapid, deep, and labored breathing. Which diagnostic test should you order first?

His respirations are shallow, at a rate of 10/min. His Oxygen saturation is 94% on 2L of NC oxygen. On examination, the child is snoring with poor chest rise and poor air entry bilaterally. What action should you take next? Provide bag mask ventilation Correct Answer After rectal administration of diazepam, an 8 year old boy with a history of seizures is no unresponsive to painful stimuli.
