You are evaluating a 10-year-old child who is febrile and tachycardic. The child’s capillary refill time is 5 seconds. What parameter will determine if the child is in compensated shock?

A 3-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department by his mother. He is lethargic, with retractions and nasal flaring. He has a respiratory rate of 70/min, with warm extremities and brisk capillary refill. Which immediate life-threatening condition could this child’s condition most likely progress to if left untreated?

Use this scenario to answer questions #35 and #36: After rectal administration of diazepam, an 8-year-old boy with a history of seizures is now unresponsive to painful stimulation. His respirations are shallow, at a rate of 10/min. His oxygen saturation is 94% on 2 L/min of nasal cannula oxygen. On examination, the child is snoring with poor chest rise and poor air entry bilaterally. If the patient continues to snore and exhibit poor chest rise and poor air entry bilaterally after your initial intervention, what next step is most appropriate?

Which of the following patients would not be expected to given a Beta Adrenergic Antagonist to control arrhythmias?

A 3-year-old child is in cardiac arrest, and high-quality CPR is in progress. You are the team leader. The first rhythm check reveals the rhythm shown here. Defibrillation is attempted with a shock dose of 2 J/kg. After shock administration, what should you say to your team members?

Assume that two firms (n=2) compete by choosing output levels. Firm 1 produces q1 units of output and firm 2 produces q2 units of output. Total output in the market is given by Q = q1 + q2. Market demand is given by the function P(Q) = 60 – 0.1Q, and the firms have constant marginal (and average) costs of $10 for firm 1 and $20 for firm 2. What is the Cournot profit-maximizing output level for firm 1?

The oyster bar owner also allows customers to place only one order per visit. The profit-maximizing owner of the bar knows that there are two types of customers: those who are very hungry, and those who are only mildly hungry. The demand for oysters by any very hungry customer is given by P(q) = 30 – 2q while those who are mildly hungry have (individual) demand P(q) = 8 – q. Because the owner of the oyster bar can’t easily determine who is a very hungry customer and who is not, she decides to sell oysters in packages. She offers a large package of 15 oysters and a small package of 8. The oyster bar owner receives all of the oysters for free from a sailor friend, so her marginal cost is MC = 0. If the oyster bar owner wants the very hungry customers to buy the large package and the mildly hungry customers to buy the small package, what is the most the oyster bar owner can charge for the small package? If the oyster bar owner wants the very hungry customers to buy the large package and the mildly hungry customers to buy the small package, what is the most the oyster bar owner can charge for the large package?
