Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
The principles of pediatric life support stress evaluating and managing compensated shock with the goal of preventing decompensated shock and thereby preventing cardiopulmonary arrest. Assisting ventilation with a bag-valve-mask (BVM) device, treating ventricular fibrillation using a defibrillator, or treating supraventricular tachycardia using cardioversion are interventions that may be used to treat both children and adults.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
Chest x-rays can disclose alterations in normal anatomy or lung expansion or evidence of pneumonia, tumor, or foreign body and are commonly performed for respiratory emergencies. Therefore, the nurse would need to assist the child in remaining still during the procedure. Blood samples are taken for a variety of different emergencies. Accompanying the child to continue observation would be necessary if the child was to undergo a CT scan. Advising the lab about medications the child takes is important for urinalysis.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both.
