1. Answer> 10 seconds: A 6 month old infant is unresponsive.You begin checking for
breath- ing 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?
2. Answer> Disordered Control of Breathing: 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?
3. Answer> blood glucose: 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?

,4. Answer> Reposition the patient, and insert an oral airway: 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 snoring
with poor chest rise and poor air entry bilaterally. What action should you take next?
5. Answer> Provide bag mask ventilation: 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 snoring with poor chest rise and poor air entry
bilaterally. After repositioning the patient and you insert an Oral airway, the patient
continues to deteriorate. What next step is the most appropriate?
6. Answer> 15:2: 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?
7. Answer> 94%-99%: In post resuscitation management after cardiac arrest, extra
care should be taken to avoid repercussion injury. what should the ideal oxygen
