PALS PRE COURSE SELF-ASSESSMENT ANSWERS 2025|2026
RATED A+PALS
Which oxygen delivery system most reliably delivers a high (90% or
greater) concentration of inspired oxygen to a 7yo child? -----
Answers---nonrebreathing face mask
Initial impression of a 2yo girl shows her to be alert with mild
breathing difficulty during inspiration and pale skin color. On
primary assessment, she makes high-pitched inspiratory sounds (mild
stridor) when agitated; otherwise, her breathing is quiet. Her spO2 is
92% on room air, and she has mild inspiratory intercostal retractions.
Lung auscultation reveals transmitted upper airway sounds with
adequate distal breath sounds bilaterally. Which is the most
appropriate initial intervention for this child? -----Answers---
Humidified oxygen as tolerated
What is a correct statement about endotracheal drug administration
during resuscitative efforts for pediatric patients -----Answers---It is
the least desirable route of administration
A 9-year-old boy is agitated and leaning forward on the bed in
obvious respiratory distress. The patient is speaking in short phrases
and tells you that he has asthma but does not carry an inhaler. He has
nasal flaring, severe suprasternal and intercostal retractions, and
decreased air movement with prolonged expiratory time and
wheezing. You administer 100% oxygen by a nonrebreathing mask.
His Sp02 is 92%. Which medication do you give to this patient?
