Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A series of subdiaphragmatic abdominal thrusts (the Heimlich maneuver) is recommended for airway obstruction in children older than 1 year. For children younger than 1 year, back blows and chest thrusts are administered.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Epinephrine is considered one of the most useful drugs in treating cardiac arrest. As an adrenergic agent, it acts on both - and -receptors in the heart. Epinephrine is rapidly cleared from the bloodstream. Bretylium is no longer used in pediatric cardiac arrest management. Lidocaine is used for ventricular arrhythmias only. Naloxone is useful only to reverse effects of opioids.
