Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, D, E
An AED is an alternative to manually defibrillating an individual. The AED device consists of electrodes that are applied to the chest. These electrodes are used to monitor the heart rhythm and deliver the electrical current. AED devices are readily available in a variety of locations, such as airports, sports facilities, and businesses. Additionally, the AHA has recommended that an AED be used for children who are older than age 1 year who have no pulse and have suffered a sudden, witnessed collapse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Atropine is used to decrease respiratory secretions and mitigate the vagal effects of intubation. Thiopental reduces intracranial pressure and oxygen demand. Midazolam causes amnesia. Rocuronium or other neuromuscular blocking agents provide short-term paralysis during intubation.
