PALS post test with Verified Solutions rated A+
1. 10 seconds 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?
2. Disordered Con- A 4 year old child is brought to the emergency department
trol of Breathing 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. blood glucose An 8 year old child is brought to the emergency depart-
ment 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?
