PALS REVIEW PRACTICE TEST.
1. A 6 mo old infant is unresponsive. You begin checking 10 secs
for breathing at the same time you check for
the in- fant's pulse. Which is the max time
you should spend when trying to
simultaneously check for breathing and palpate
the infant's pulse before starting CPR?
2. A 4 yr old child is brought to the emergency depart- Disordered control
of
ment for seizures. The seizures stopped a few minutes
breathing ago, but the child continues to have slow and
irregular respirations. Which condition is consistent with
your assessment?
3. An 8 yr old is brought to the emergency Blood glucose
department with a 2 day hx of lethargy and
polyuria. The child has new-onset rapid, deep
and labored breathing. Which diagnostic test
should you order first?
4. After rectal administration of diazepam, an 8 yr old boy Repositiion

shallow, at a rate of 10/min. His oxygen sat is
94% on 2L via NC. On exam- ination, the child
is snoring with poor chest rise and poor air

which next step is most appropriate?
6. A 6 yr old child is found unresponsive, not 15:2
breathing, and without a pulse. One healthcare
worker leaves to activate the emergency
response system and get the resuscitation
equipment. you and another healthcare
provider immediately begin performing CPR.
Which compression-to-ventilation ratio do you
use? 94%-99%
7. In postresusitation management after
cardiac arrest, extra care should be taken to
avoid reperfusion injury. What should the ideal
oxygen saturation range most likely be? Resume
Compressions
8. A 3 yr 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. (V-Fib) Defibrillation is
attempted with a shock dose of 2 J/kg. After
administration of the shock, what should you
say to your team members?
9. A 4 yr old child in cardiac arrest is brought to the emer-
2-4 J/kg gency dept. by ambulance. High-quality CPR
is being performed. The cardiac monitor displays the
rhythm
strip shown here. The estimated weight of
the child is 20kg. Which dosage range should
you use the for initial defibrillation?
