PALS post test
"I think the correct dose is 0.01 mg/kg. should I give that dose instead?" - ANS -
During a resuscitation attempt, the team leader asks you to administer an initial
dose of Epinephrine at 0.1 mg/kg to be given IO. How should you respond?
\"resume compressions" - ANS - A 3 year old child is in cardiac arrest, and high
quality CPR is in progress. You are the team leader. The first rhythm check
reveals the rhythm shown here. Defibrillation is attempted with a shock dose of 2
J/kg. after administration of the shock, what should you say to you team
members?
\10 seconds - ANS - A 6 month old infant is unresponsive. You begin 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?
\15:2 - ANS - A 6 year old child is found unresponsive, not breathing, and without
a pulse. one health care worker leaves to activate the emergency response
system and get the resuscitation equipment. You and another healthcare provider
immediatly begin CPR. Which compression to ventilation ratio do you use?
\2-4 J/kg - ANS - A 4 year old child in cardiac arrest is brought to the emergency
department by ambulance. High quality CPR is being performed. The cardiac
monitor displays the rhythm strip shown here. The estimated weight of the child
is 20 kg. What dose range should you use for the initial defibrillation?
\20 ml/kg - ANS - You are caring for a 12 year old girl with acute lymphoblastic
leukemia. She is responsive but she does not feel well and appears to be flushed.
Her Temp is 39 degrees C (102.2 F), HR is 118/min, respiratory rate is 36/min, BP
is 100/40 mmHg, and oxygen sat is 96% on room air. Your assessment reveals
mild increase in work of breathing and bounding pulses. The child is receiving
100% Oxygen by NRB mask.--- Which NS bolus is most appropriate for this
patient?
\20 ml/kg normal saline - ANS - You are caring for a 3 month old boy with a 2 day
history of fever, vomiting and diarrhea. His parents state that he has been
sleeping much more. His HR is 190/min, temp is 38.3 degrees C (101 F) blood
pressure is 59/29 mmHg, Resp rate is 70/min and shallow, and oxygen sat is 94%
on 100% oxygen. His capillary refills time is 4-5 seconds, and he has mottled,
cool extremities. The infant weighs 6 Kg. You have decided that this infant Needs
fluid resuscitation. How much fluid should you administer?
\40 Joules - ANS - A 4 year old child in cardiac arrest is brought to the emergency
department by ambulance. High quality CPR is being performed. The cardiac
, monitor displays the rhythm strip shown here. The estimated weight of the child
is 20 kg. As the team leader, how many joules do you tell your team member to
use to perform initial Defib?
\88% on 4L of Nasal oxygen - ANS - A 10 year old child is brought to the ED for
fever and cough. You obtain an O2 sat on the child. Which oxygen saturation
would indicate that immediate intervention is needed?
\94%-99% - ANS - In post resuscitation management after cardiac arrest, extra
care should be taken to avoid repercussion injury. what should the ideal oxygen
saturation range most likely be?
\A child who is grunting - ANS - You are caring for patients in the emergency
department. Which 2 year old child requires immediate intervention?
\Administer 20 ml/kg of isotonic crystalloid over 5 to 10 mins - ANS - The parents
of a 7 year old child who is undergoing chemotherapy report that the child has
been febrile and has not been feeling well, with recent onset of lethargy.
Assessment reveals that the child is difficult to arouse and her skin color is pale.
The Childs HR is 160/min, respiratory rate is 38/min, blood pressure is 76/45
mmHg, cap refill time is 5 to 6 seconds, and temp is 39.4 degrees C (103 F). IV
access has been established, and blood cultures have been obtained. which
action should you perform next?
\Alert - ANS - A 5 year old child is brought to the emergency department by
ambulance after being involved in a MVC. You are using the primary assessment
to evaluate the child. When assessing the Childs neurological status, you note
that he has spontaneous eye opening, is fully oriented, and is able to follow
command. How would you document this Childs AVPU pediatric response scale
finding?
\Allowing complete chest wall recoil after each compression - ANS - You are the
team leader during a pediatric resuscitation attempt. which action is an element
of high quality CPR?
\an antibiotic - ANS - You are caring for a 5 year old boy with a 4 day history of
high fever and cough. He is having increasing lethargy, grunting, and sleepiness.
Now he is difficult to arouse and is unresponsive to voice commands. His O2 sat
is 72% on room air and 89% when on a NRB O2 mask. He has shallow
respirations, with a respiratory rate of 38/min. Auscultation of the lungs reveals
bilateral crackles. Which medication would be most appropriate?
\Antibiotic Administration - ANS - You are caring for a 12 year old girl with acute
lymphoblastic leukemia. She is responsive but she does not feel well and appears
to be flushed. Her Temp is 39 degrees C (102.2 F), HR is 118/min, respiratory rate
is 36/min, BP is 100/40 mmHg, and oxygen sat is 96% on room air. Your
assessment reveals mild increase in work of breathing and bounding pulses. The
child is receiving 100% Oxygen by NRB mask.--- In edition to oxygen
