QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED
VERIFIED ANSWERS (100% CORRECT
ANSWERS) /ALREADY GRADED A+
What condition are pediatric patients at increased
risk for because of their shorter necks and
tracheas?
A. Right mainstem intubation
B. Airway compression
C. Airway obstruction
D. Aspiration - ....ANSWER...Because of their shorter
necks and tracheas, pediatric patients are at
increased risk for right mainstem intubation.
A cartilaginous larynx puts the pediatric patient at
increased risk for airway compression with
hyperflexion or hyperextension.
,A larynx that is more anterior and cephalad
increases the risk of aspiration and airway
obstruction.
Milrinone (Primacor) is used to treat which disorder?
- ....ANSWER...Heart failure Inotropic drugs, such as
milrinone (Primacor), help improve myocardial
contractility and are used to treat heart failure.
bradycardia TX with - ....ANSWER...Oxygen and
epinephrine
Anaphylaxis requires treatment with -
....ANSWER...epinephrine.
Burns require treatment - ....ANSWER...aggressive
fluid resuscitation.
For pediatric patients, which route of temperature
measurement provides the most accurate
information?
,A. Temporal artery B. Tympanic C. Rectal D. Axillary
- ....ANSWER...When an accurate temperature is
required to make a treatment decision, a
measurement strategy that reflects the core
temperature is desired. Because of this, rectal
temperature measurement is considered the gold
standard.
For a pediatric patient with prolonged continuous
seizure activity, the administration of a drug from
which class is the priority? -
....ANSWER...Benzodiazepines
Prolonged continuous seizure activity indicates
status
Status Epilepticus priority treatment -
....ANSWER...For this disorder, the priorities are
airway maintenance, oxygenation, and the rapid
termination of seizure activity.
Benzodiazepines are usually administered to control
seizure activity. Temperature control can occur, if
needed, after the seizure activity has ceased.
, If the pediatric patient needs endotracheal intubation
for airway management, a neuromuscular blocker
may be used, but the priority remains the
termination of seizure activity.
Which adverse effect results from cold stress in a
neonate? - ....ANSWER...Metabolic acidosis
in a neonate, the consequences of cold stress
include - ....ANSWER...hypoglycemia
apnea
metabolic acidosis
poor feeding.
Neonates, young infants, and children have limited
glycogen stores and are vulnerable to hypoglycemia
when stressed by an illness, injury, or cold.
A medication from which class may be used to treat
croup? - ....ANSWER...Corticosteroid
In croup, corticosteroids may be used to reduce
airway inflammation and swelling.
