AND ANSWERS | REAL AND EXACT | 100% RATED CORRECT | 100% VERFIED |
ALREADY GRADED A+
1. A 12-year-old child being evaluated in the pediatric intensive care unit displays the following ECG
waveform. The team interprets this as which arrhythmia?: Second degree
Second Degree Heart Block (Mobitz II)
the picture shown is not the picture in the actual exam
2. Laboratory tests are ordered for a child who has been vomiting for 3 days and is diaphoretic, tachypneic,
lethargic and pale. Which test would the provider use to determine the adequacy of oxygen delivery?: Lactate
3. A 9-year-old patient is presenting with decreased breath sounds, bradycardia, slowed respiratory rate and a
low O2 saturation level. The provider interprets these findings as indicating which condition?: Respiratory
failure
4. A 4-year-old child is brought to the emergency department by the parents. Assessment reveals that the child
has only gasping respirations and the pulse rate is 65 beats per minute. Which action would the provider
initiate first?: Deliver 1 BVM ventilation every 3 to 5 seconds.
, 5. A 15-year-old patient is being evaluated during a follow-up visit after being diagnosed with Lyme disease 2
months ago. A rhythm strip is obtained as shown below. The provider interprets this rhythm as indicating
which arrhythmia?: First-degree atrioventricular (AV) block
the picture shown is not the picture in the actual exam
6. A child in cardiac arrest experiences return of spontaneous circulation but is exhibiting signs of post-cardiac
arrest syndrome (PCAS). The PALS resuscitation team determines that the child is experiencing a systemic
response to ischemia/reperfusion. The team bases this determination on which finding(s)?: Hypotension
Fever
Hyperglycemia
7. A 2-year-old child arrives at the emergency department with the parents. The child is unresponsive, is not
breathing and has no pulse. Two emergency department providers begin high-quality CPR. Which action(s)
by the providers demonstrates high-quality CPR?: Allowing the chest to recoil fully after each compression
Providing ventilations that last about 1 second each
Compressing the chest about 2 inches
Giving 2 ventilations to every 15 compressions (15:2)
8. A PALS resuscitation team is preparing to defibrillate a child experiencing cardiac arrest. For which
rhythm(s) would this action be appropriate?: VF and pVT are shockable cardiac arrest rhythms.
9. A provider is assessing a child with suspected shock. Which statement correctly describes hypotension and
shock?: Hypotension is not a consistent feature of shock;
