,1. A 5-year-old child presents with Unreliable; supplementary oxygen should be
lethargy, increased work of administered
breathing, and pale color. The
primary assessment reveals that the
airway is open and the respiratory
rate is 30/min, with crackles heard
on auscultation. The cardiac
monitor shows sinus tachycardia at
a rate of 165/min. The pulse
oximeter displays an oxygen
saturation of 95% and a pulse rate
of 93/min. On the basis of this
information, which of the following
provides the best interpretation of
the oxygen saturation of 95% by
pulse oximetry?
A. Reliable; no supplementary
oxygen is indicated B. Reliable;
supplementary oxygen should be
administered
C. Unreliable; no supplementary
oxygen is indicated
D. Unreliable; supplementary
oxygen should be administered
,2. A 3-year-old child was recently Septic shock
diagnosed with leukemia and has
been treated with chemotherapy.
The child presents with lethargy
and a high fever. Heart rate is
195/min, respiratory rate is 36/min,
blood pressure is 85/40 mm Hg,
and capillary refill time is less than 2
seconds. What is the child's most
likely condition?
A. Septic shock
B. Hypovolemic shock
C. Significant bradycardia
D. Cardiogenic shock
3. A 2-week-old infant presents with Hypotensive
irritability and a history of poor
feeding. Blood pressure is 55/40
mm Hg. What term describes this
infant's blood pressure?
A. Hypotensive
B. Normal
C. Hypertensive
D. Compensated
4. During a resuscitation attempt, Respectfully ask the team leader to clarify the
the team leader orders an initial dose
dose of epinephrine at 0.1 mg/kg to
be given 10. What should the team
member do?
A. Administer the drug as ordered
B. Administer 0.01 mg/kg of
epinephrine
C. Respectfully ask the team leader
to clarify the dose
D. Refuse to administer the drug
, 5. Which of the following is a Inadequate oxygenation and/or ventilation
characteristic of respiratory failure?
A. Inadequate oxygenation and/or
ventilation
B. Hypotension
C. An increase in serum pH
(alkalosis)
D. Abnormal respiratory sounds
6. Which of the following is most Lower airway obstruction
likely to produce a prolonged
expiratory phase and wheezing?
A. Disordered control of breathing
B. Hypovolemic shock
C. Lower airway obstruction
D. Upper airway obstruction
7. A 4-year-old child presents with Control of breathing
seizures and irregular respirations.
The seizures stopped a few minutes
ago. Which of the following most
likely to be abnormal?
A. Vascular resistance
B. Pulse rate
C. Lung compliance
D. Control of breathing
8. What abnormality is most likely to Decreased oxygen saturation
be present in children with acute
respiratory distress caused by lung
tissue disease?
A. Decreased oxygen saturation
B. Stridor
C. Normal respiratory rate
D. Decreased respiratory effort
