Question 2
Which of the following differences in the pediatric respiratory system should be considered when assessing the pediatric patient? 1. You will most likely note that the child's abdomen rises and falls during respiration, more than that of an adult. 2.

Although a child's smaller ribs fracture more easily, it is uncommon to see rib fractures in the abused child. 5. The pediatric patient will more readily display mediastinal shift with a tension pneumothorax.
