A 5-year-old child has had respiratory distress for 2 days.  During assessment the child’s heart decreases from 140/min. to 90/min., and the child’s respiratory rate decrease from 66/min. to 8/min.  What intervention is most appropriate?

A 4-year-old child is being treated for hypovolemic shock and has recieved a single fluid bolus of 20 mL/kg of normal saline.  On reevaluation the child remains anxious, with a heart rate of 140/min., a blood pressure of 84/54 mm Hg, and a capillary refill time of 4 seconds.  What describes this patients condition?

A 2-year old child present with a history of vomiting.  The initial impression reveals an unresponsive child with intermitant apnea and mottled color.  Heart rate is 166/min., respiratory rate is now being supported with bag-mask ventiation, capillary refill time is 5-6 seconds, and temperature is 102F (38.9C).  What is the best method of establishing immediate vascular access?

You are giving chest compressions for a child in cardiac arrest. What is the proper depth of compressions for a child?

Big canines (B) is a dominant, autosomal trait in dogs. A male dog with big canines was crossed with a pure-breeding wild type b (normal) female dog. Of their progeny (F1) 1/2 had big canines and 1/2 were wild type. When two of those dogs with big canines (F1) were mated, their progeny (F2) contained 295 with big canines and 105 of the wild type. The geneticist’s hypothesis is that both of the F1 parent dogs crossed were heterozygous for b and B, so she thinks that the ratio of progeny of the second cross (F2) is 3:1. Is her hypothesis correct?

Which oxygen delivery system most reliably delivers a high (90% or greater) concentration of inspired oxygen to a 7-year-old child?

A 3-month-old infant is intubated for management of respiratory failure.  During transport, the infant develops bradycardia with a heart rate of 60/min, and the infants oxygen saturation decreases to 75%.  There are breath sounds on the right side, but no air entry is heard on the left side.  What is the most appropriate initial intervention?
