Answer to Question 1

2. Begin oxygen per nasal cannula at 1 liter

Rationale:
The pulse oximetry reading should be 92 or greater. Oxygen by nasal cannula at 1 liter should be started initially. Medicating for pain, administering IV fluids, and sending lab specimens can be done once the child's oxygenation status has been addressed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
