10 seconds - Correct ✓✓A 6 month old infant is unresponsive. You begin
Page | 1 checking for breathing at the same time you check for the infants pulse. Which is
the maximum time you should spend when trying to simultaneously check for
breathing and palpate the infants pulse before starting CPR?
Disordered Control of Breathing - Correct ✓✓A 4 year old child is brought to the
emergency department for seizures. The seizures stopped a few minutes ago, but
the child continues to have slow and irregular respirations. Which condition is
most consistent with your assessment?
blood glucose - Correct ✓✓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? Reposition the patient,
and insert an oral airway - Correct ✓✓After rectal
administration of diazepam, an 8 year old boy with a history of seizures is no
unresponsive to painful stimuli. 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
