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.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
