Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A quiet chest after assessment of wheezing indicates occlusion of air pathways and impending respiratory arrest. All other options are within normal range for infants undergoing oxygen administration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The child experiencing laryngeal spasm should be placed in a high-humidity environment, such as the bathroom with a hot shower running. The humidity liquefies secretions and reduces spasm.
