, These are all signs or symptoms of asthma in children except bradycardia
and crackles on auscultation. You would expect an elevated heart rate as
the body attempts to compensate for reduced oxygen levels. The
expected finding on auscultation would be decreased A/E and wheezing,
not crackles.
What would be the maintenance fluid and rate for a patient who weighs 12kgs
A) D10W at 24mls/hr
B) D5W at 240 ml/hr
C) NS at 44ml/hr
D) D5NS at 44ml/hr

D) D5NS @ 44ml/hrs
In order to appropriately assess pain in a 4-year-old with a radius fracture, what pain
assessment tool should be used?
A) FLACC scale
B) Numeric scale
C) Parental input
D) FACES scale
Give this one a try later!
D) The FACES scale is the best option for a preschool aged child. Children
of this age may not know their numbers and therefore cannot properly rate
their pain. Parents are also good resources on their children, but it is best to
get the patient themselves to rate their own pain.
