unresponsive to painful stimuli. His respirations are shallow, at a rate of
10/min. His Oxygen saturation is 94% on 2L of NC oxygen. On examination,
the child is snoring with poor chest rise and poor air entry bilaterally. What
action should you take next?
-Provide bag mask ventilation - -After rectal administration of diazepam, an

of fever, vomiting and diarrhea. His parents state that he has been sleeping
much more. His HR is 190/min, temp is 38.3 degrees C (101 F) blood
pressure is 59/29 mmHg, Resp rate is 70/min and shallow, and oxygen sat is
94% on 100% oxygen. His capillary refills time is 4-5 seconds, and he has
mottled, cool extremities. The infant weighs 6 Kg. Which assessment finding
indicates that the infant is in hypotensive shock?
-hypovolemic shock - -You are caring for a 3 month old boy with a 2 day
