Identify the rhythm. - Asystole
Identify the rhythm. - Wide-Complex Tachycardia
, Identify the rhythm. - Pulseless Electrical Activity
Which statement is correct about endotracheal drug administration during resuscitative efforts
for pediatric
patients? - It is the least desirable route of administration
Which oxygen delivery system most reliably delivers a high (90% or greater) concentration of
inspired oxygen to a 7-year-old child? - Nonrebreathing face mask
Paramedics are called to the home of a 1-year-old child. Their initial assessment reveals a child
who responds only to painful stimuli and has irregular breathing, faint central pulses, bruises
over the abdomen, abdominal distention, and cyanosis. Bag-mask ventilation with 100% oxygen
is initiated. The child's heart rate is 36/min. Peripheral pulses cannot be palpated, and central
pulses are barely palpable. The cardiac monitor shows sinus bradycardia. Two-rescuer CPR is
started. Upon arrival to the emergency department, the child is intubated and ventilated with
100% oxygen, and IV access is established. The heart rate is now 150/min with weak central
pulses but no distal pulses. Systolic blood pressure is 74 mm Hg. Which intervention should be
provided next? - Rapid bolus of 20 mL/kg of isotonic crystalloid
A previously healthy infant with a history of vomiting and diarrhea is brought to the emergency
department by her parents. During your assessment, you find that the infant responds only to
painful stimulation. The infant's respiratory rate is 40 breaths per minute, and central pulses are
rapid and weak. The infant has good bilateral breath sounds, cool extremities, and a capillary
refill time of more than 5 seconds. The infant's blood pressure is 85/65 mm Hg, and glucose is
30 mg/dL (1.65 mol/L). You administer 100% oxygen via face mask and start an IV. Which
treatment is the most appropriate for this infant? - Administer a bolus of isotonic crystalloid 20
mL/kg over 5 to 20 minutes, and also give D2;W 2 to 4 mL/kg IV
A 9-year-old boy is agitated and leaning forward on the bed in obvious respiratory distress. The
patient is speaking in short phrases and tells you that he has asthma but does not carry an
inhaler. He has nasal flaring, severe suprasternal and intercostal retractions, and decreased air
