Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Periodic breathing is regular breathing with occasional short pauses followed by rapid breathing for a short period and then eventually resumption of a normal respiratory rate. Hypoventilation refers to a decrease in the depth and rate of respirations. Hyperventilation refers to an increased depth and rate of respirations. Stridor refers to a high-pitched, easily audible inspiratory noise.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The most common cause of profound bradycardia is respiratory compromise, hypoxia, and shock; thus, oxygenation and ventilation are the priorities. If the bradycardia persists, the next step would be to administer epinephrine or atropine as ordered. Hypothermia or toxic ingestion can cause bradycardia. Treating the underlying problem will relieve the bradycardia.
