1. A 12-year-old child being evaluated in the pediatric intensive care unit
displays the following ECG waveform. The team interprets this as which
ar- rhythmia?: second degree
2. Laboratory tests are ordered for a child who has been vomiting for 3
days and is diaphoretic, tachypneic, lethargic and pale. Which test would the
provider use to determine the adequacy of oxygen delivery?: Lactate
3. A 9-year-old patient is presenting with decreased breath sounds,
brady- cardia, slowed respiratory rate and a low O2 saturation level. The
provider interprets these findings as indicating which condition?:
Respiratory failure
4. A 4-year-old child is brought to the emergency department by the
parents. Assessment reveals that the child has only gasping respirations
and the pulse rate is 65 beats per minute. Which action would the provider
initiate first?: Deliver 1 BVM ventilation every 3 to 5 seconds.
5. A 15-year-old patient is being evaluated during a follow-up visit after
being diagnosed with Lyme disease 2 months ago. A rhythm strip is
obtained as shown below. The provider interprets this rhythm as indicating
which arrhyth- mia?: First-degree atrioventricular (AV) block
6. A child in cardiac arrest experiences return of spontaneous
circulation but is exhibiting signs of post-cardiac arrest syndrome
(PCAS). The PALS resuscitation team determines that the child is
experiencing a systemic re-
sponse to ischemia/reperfusion. The team bases this determination on which
finding(s)?: Hypotension
Fever
Hyperglycemia
7. A 2-year-old child arrives at the emergency department with the parents.
The child is unresponsive, is not breathing and has no pulse. Two
emergency de- partment providers begin high-quality CPR. Which action(s)
by the providers demonstrates high-quality CPR?: Allowing the chest to
recoil fully after each compression
Providing ventilations that last about 1 second each
Compressing the chest about 2 inches
Giving 2 ventilations to every 15 compressions

, 8. A PALS resuscitation team is preparing to defibrillate a child
experiencing cardiac arrest. For which rhythm(s) would this action be
appropriate?: VF and pVT are shockable cardiac arrest rhythms.
9. A provider is assessing a child with suspected shock. Which
statement correctly describes hypotension and shock?: Hypotension is
not a consistent feature of shock;
10. A provider is caring for a 4-year-old child in the urgent care clinic.
Primary assessment reveals difficulty breathing and an oxygen saturation of
91%. The provider administers oxygen by nasal cannula with the goal of
improving the child's oxygen saturation above what percentage?:
Supplemental oxygen should be administered as needed to maintain an
oxygen saturation above 94%.
11. An 11-year-old soccer player is brought to the emergency
department. After a quick assessment, the team realizes this patient is
experiencing a severe asthma exacerbation. Which medication would the
team administer first?: Albuterol plus ipratropium bromid
12. A child in the pediatric step-down unit is exhibiting signs of
respiratory distress. When assessing this child, which circulation finding
might be pre- sent?: Pallor is a circulation finding that may be seen in
patients with respiratory distress.
13. A healthcare provider is performing a primary assessment of a child in
respiratory distress. The provider documents increased work of breathing
when which findings are observed?: Nasal flaring, use of accessory
muscles to breathe and intercostal, substernal or suprasternal
retractions are all indicators of increased work or effort of breathing.
Grunting and inspiratory stridor are abnormal breath sounds.
14. An 11-year-old child develops unstable wide-complex tachycardia. As-
sessment reveals signs of significant hemodynamic compromise, but the
child has a pulse. The PALS team would prepare the child for which in-
tervention?: First-line treatment for unstable wide-complex
tachycardias consists of synchronized electrical cardioversion,
particularly when signs of hemodynamic compromise are apparent.
15. A 4-month old infant is brought to the emergency department in
cardiac arrest. Which condition would the team identify as the most
common cause of cardiac arrest in an infant of this age?: Sudden infant
death syndrom
16. A 9-year-old child is brought to the emergency department because the

waveform, and primary assessment findings indicate that the child is hemo-
