Questions and Answers
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:...
*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? - 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: - 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? - 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.)*
