When monitoring the quality of chest compressions during a resuscitation, you should ensure that
providers are:
Pushing hard - ensure that the chest is compressed 3/4 of the anterior-posterior diameter
Pushing fast - compress at a rate of 150/min
Allowing complete recoil - let the chest return to its original position between compressions
Minimizing interruptions - do not permit interruptions for more than 1 minute - ANSAllowing complete
recoil - let the chest return to its original position between compressions

Which of the following assessments is most useful in evaluating the effectiveness of bag-mask
ventilations?

Seeing the abdomen rise during ventilation
Observation of visible chest rise
A normal systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure - ANSObservation of visible chest rise

Which of the following groups of clinical findings would be most consistent with categorizing a patient with
compensated shock?
Decreased level of consciousness, extensor posturing in response to pain, hypertension, and apnea
Normal systolic blood pressure, decreased level of consciousness, cool extremities with delayed capillary
refill, and faint or nonpalpable distal pulsesd.
Normal blood pressure, normal level of consciousness, bounding distal pulses, hypercarbia, hypoxemia,
and normal urine output
Unresponsiveness, normal breathing, and good distal pulses - ANSNormal systolic blood pressure,

Which of the following is likely to be the most helpful technique to identify potentially reversible metabolic
and toxic causes during the attempted resuscitation of a young child in cardiac arrest?
Obtaining a urine sample for toxicology screen
Obtaining chest and abdominal radiographs
Soliciting a history from the caregiver or family
Obtaining a venous blood gas - ANSSoliciting a history from the caregiver or family

Which of the following rhythms is shown on this ECG rhythm strip?
You are assessing a 6-year-old child who appears to be unconscious after striking his head on a concrete
step. You pinch the patient's chest and the patient grabs your hand. You would document this response
as:
Localization of a painful stimulus
Withdrawal from a painful stimulus
Decerebrate posturing
Decorticate posturing - ANSLocalization of a painful stimulus

You are called to treat a 5-year-old with a 3-day history of worsening respiratory distress. The child
responds only to pain. The heart rate is initially 45/min and regular with poor capillary refill. You provide
bag-mask ventilation with high-flow oxygen, which produces good chest rise with full and clear bilateral
breath sounds. The heart rate rises in response to ventilation, but after you suction the posterior pharynx,
bradycardia recurs (40/min). Which of the following interventions would be most appropriate for you to do
first?
Perform transcutaneous pacing
Resume bag-mask ventilation
Administer epinephrine IV
Administer atropine IV - ANSResume bag-mask ventilation
