tests/
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

, ACLS Test Prep (PALS, BLS, ACLS)
*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

*Rationale:* Rescue breaths and ventilations should be delivered over one second, regardless
of the patient's age.
What is the normal range of heart rates for an 8-year-old child? - correct answer *Answer:*
60-140 per minute *(The ACLS test I took says this. This is most likely a older ACLS test.
According to 2015 Handbook of Emergency Cardiovascular Care it says for a school-age child
the rate is 75-118.)*

*Rationale:* Normal vital sign values change as children age. It is important to know what
"normal" is for the age of your patient.
The child you are caring for is very pale. You know that this pallor can be caused by all of the
following EXCEPT:

A) Anemia
B) Heat
C) Shock
