SOLUTIONS.
What are Common Causes of Respiratory Arrest in Children?
Having smaller airways than adults
Having underdeveloped immune systems
Lacking coordination
Being susceptible to choking on food and small objects
Being susceptible to sudden infant death syndrome
What are the Drugs Administered Through Tracheal Tube?
L: lidocaine
E: epinephrine
A: atropine
N: naloxone
What is the Nursing Management of a Child With a Pediatric Emergency?
Maintaining a patent airway
Providing supplemental oxygen
Monitoring for changes in status
Assisting ventilation
Offering support and education to the child and family
What are Airway and Ventilation Methods?
Anesthesia bag or flow-inflating ventilation system
Bag-valve-mask device or manual resuscitator
Laryngeal mask airway
Tracheal intubation
The nurse assisting a child in respiratory distress inserts the rubber connecting tube of an inflatable
silicone mask blindly into the airway to form a seal. What method of resuscitation is being performed
by the nurse?
a. anesthesia bag
b. flow-inflating ventilation system
c. bag-valve-mask device
d. laryngeal mask airway
d. laryngeal mask airway. Using this method, the nurse inserts the rubber connecting tube of an
inflatable silicone mask blindly into the airway to form a seal.
Rationale: Using an anesthesia bag or flow-inflating ventilation system involves a small collapsible bag
that consists of a reservoir bag, an overflow port, and a fresh gas inflow port. A bag-valve-mask device
is a self-inflating oxygen delivery bag that does not need a source of oxygen for resuscitation and
ventilation.
What are the Forms of Vascular Access?
Peripheral IV route
Central IV route
Saphenous vein
Intraosseous access
