PALS Pharmacology
A 9 year old boy is agitated and leaning forward on the bed in obvious respiratory
distress - ANS - Albuterol
\A previously healthy infant with a history of vomiting and diarrhea is brought to
the ED by her parents. During your assessment you find that the infant responds
only to painful stimulation - ANS - Administer a bolus of isotonic crystalloid 20
mL/kg over 5 to 20 minutes
\Initial impressions of a 2 year old girl shows her to be alert with mild breathing
difficulty during inspiration and pale skin color - ANS - Humidified oxygen as
tolerated
\Paramedics are called to the home of a 1 year old child - ANS - Rapid bolus of 20
mL/kg of isotonic crystalloid
\Which oxygen delivery system most reliably delivers high (90% or greater)
concentrations of inspired oxygen to a 7 year old - ANS - Nonrebreather face
mask
\Which statement is correct about endotracheal drug administration during
resuscitative efforts for pediatric patients - ANS - It is the least desirable route of
administration
\Which statement is correct about the effects of epinephrine during attempted
resuscitation - ANS - Epinephrine stimulates spontaneous
\Which statement is correct about the use of cacium chloride in pediatric patients
- ANS - Routine administration is not
\You are called to help treat an infant with severe symptomatic bradycardia - ANS
- Epinephrine
\You are part of a team attempting to resuscitate a child with V-fib cardiac arrest.
You delivered 2 unsynchronized shocks. A team member established IO access
so you give a dose of epi - ANS - Amiodarone 5mg/kg IO
