1. infant - brachial Where can you check a pulse on an infant and child?
child - femoral
2. nasal flaring What are signs of increased respiratory effort that can
seesaw respirations lead to fatigue and respiratory failure? Select all that
retractions apply
head bobbing
nasal flaring
unlabored breathing
apnea
seesaw respirations

2 ber of times the chest rises in seconds and
multiplying by .
