A 5-year-old child in supraventricular tachycardia has adequate pulses with the rhythm.
Supplemental oxygen is in place and vital signs are stable except for the elevated heart rate. The
most appropriate next intervention for this child is: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Vagal Maneuvers
*Rationale:* Vagal maneuvers are a reasonable first intervention for supraventricular
tachycardia in a hemodynamically stable patient, as this child is.
A child has an advanced airway in place during cardiac arrest. How frequently should
ventilations be given? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Every 6-8 Seconds
8-10 BPM
*Rationale:* The latest AHA guidelines recommend one ventilation every six seconds, or 10 per
minute, when an advanced airway is in place.
You are using a bag-valve mask to resuscitate an infant, while another rescuer is performing
chest compressions. What is the correct ratio of chest compressions to ventilations? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔15 chest compressions to 2 ventilations
, *Rationale:* The AHA suggests that during a pediatric resuscitation with two or more rescuers
present, the correct ratio of chest compressions to ventilations is 15:2.
You are alone performing infant CPR. What is the correct ratio of chest compressions to
ventilations? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔30 chest compressions to 2 ventilations
*Rationale:* The AHA suggests that during a pediatric resuscitation with only one rescuer
present, the correct ratio of chest compressions to ventilations is 30:2.
A 7 month old appears to be unconscious and not breathing. You check for a pulse at the
________ artery. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Brachial
*Rationale:* Rescuers should use the brachial artery in the upper arm to check for a pulse. The
artery is easily palpable in infants and young children.
A clear sign of upper airway obstruction is: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔A "whistling" sound during
breathing
*Rationale:* A "whistling" sound during breathing usually indicates *stridor.* Crying suggests
full lung function, as does breath sounds in all lung fields. Decreased inspiratory effort is a non-
specific sign, but may reflect a central process (i.e. consequence of head trauma).
In children, which of the following is the most common form of arrest? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔Respiratory arrest
*Rationale:* Respiratory distress, failure, and arrest are the most common conditions
prompting PALS care. In fact, most cases of pediatric cardiac arrest are preceded by respiratory
issues.
In small children, a rescue breath should be given: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Over one second
