Answer to Question 1

B
Epinephrine is the drug of choice for the management of cardiac arrest. Atropine sulfate is used to treat symptomatic bradycardia. Sodium bicarbonate is given to treat severe acidosis associated with cardiac arrest. Dopamine is indicated for hypotension or poor peripheral circulation in a child.

Answer to Question 2

C
The child must be able to care for the lenses independently. Serious eye damage can occur with irresponsible use of contact lenses; confidence and wanting do not equal responsibility. Chronological age is not the major determinant. A responsible 10-year-old child might be permitted to wear contact lenses, but the ability to read does not indicate understanding of the instructions.
