Answer to Question 1

ANS:
c, a, b
The correct sequence of actions is to obtain vascular access, administer epinephrine, and then to keep the child warm and calm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
110
The low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) contain low concentrations of triglycerides, high levels of cholesterol, and moderate levels of protein. LDL is the major carrier of cholesterol to the cells. Cells use cholesterol for synthesis of membranes and steroid production. Elevated circulating LDL is a strong risk factor in cardiovascular disease. For children from families with a history of heart disease, the LDL should be <110.
