answer:
Clinical clues: age 8 years;
hear rate 78/min.
Identify the rhythm by Sinus bradycardia
selecting the single best
answer:
Clinical clues: age 3
months; heart rate 65/min
,Identify the rhythm by SVT converting to sinus rhythm
selecting the single best after adenosine administration.
answer:

rhythm associated with
heart rate 300/min
Identify the rhythm by V-Fib with successful
selecting the single best defibrillation and resumption of
answer: organized rhythm.
Clinical clues: initial
rhythm associated with no
detectable pulse.
Identify the rhythm by Supraventricular tachycardia
selecting the single best (SVT)
answer:
Clinical clue: heart rate
300/min
Identify the rhythm by Sinus Tachycardia
selecting the single best
answer:
Clinical clues: Febrile
infant; heart rate 188/min
Identify the rhythm by Asystole
selecting the single best
answer:
Clinical clues: no
detectable pulse.
,Identify the rhythm by Ventricular Fibrillation (VF)
selecting the single best
answer:
Clinical clues: No
consistent heart rate
detected; no detectable
pulses.
Identify the rhythm by Wide-Complex Tachycardia
selecting the single best
answer:
Clinical clue: Heart rate
214/min
Identify the rhythm by Pulseless Electrical Activity
selecting the single best
answer:
Clinical clue: Heart rate
44/min; no detectable
pulses
Identify the rhythm by Sinus Bradycardia
selecting the single best
answer:
Clinical clues: Age 7 years;
heart rate 38/min.
Identify the rhythm by Wide-Complex Tachycardia
selecting the single best
answer:
Clinical clues: heart rate
150/min.
, Initial impression of a 2- Humidified oxygen as tolerated.
year-old 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
SP02 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?
