10 seconds -CORRECT ANSWER A 6 month old infant is unresponsive. You begin
checking for breathing at the same time you check for the infants pulse. Which is the
maximum time you should spend when trying to simultaneously check for breathing and
palpate the infants pulse before starting CPR?
Disordered Control of Breathing -CORRECT ANSWER A 4 year old child is brought to
the emergency department for seizures. The seizures stopped a few minutes ago, but
the child continues to have slow and irregular respirations. Which condition is most
consistent with your assessment?
blood glucose -CORRECT ANSWER An 8 year old child is brought to the emergency
department with a 2 day history of lethargy and polyuria. The child has new onset rapid,
deep, and labored breathing. Which diagnostic test should you order first?
Reposition the patient, and insert an oral airway -CORRECT ANSWER After rectal
administration of diazepam, an 8 year old boy with a history of seizures is no
unresponsive to painful stimuli. His respirations are shallow, at a rate of 10/min. His
Oxygen saturation is 94% on 2L of NC oxygen. On examination, the child is snoring with
poor chest rise and poor air entry bilaterally. What action should you take next?
, Provide bag mask ventilation -CORRECT ANSWER After rectal administration of
diazepam, an 8 year old boy with a history of seizures is no unresponsive to painful

saturation range most likely be?
"resume compressions" -CORRECT ANSWER A 3 year old child is in cardiac arrest,
