Which statement about tachycardia is NOT correct? O A normal heart rate for an infant may be twice as fast as a normal heart rate for an older child. O Tachycardia may be a normal, non-dangerous heart rate in response to stress or anxiety. O A heart rate of 175 bpm is within normal range for a child up to two. O Sinus tachycardia is commonly a dangerous rhythm that can quickly deteriorate to cardiac arrest.

Question
Which statement about tachycardia is NOT correct?
O A normal heart rate for an infant may be twice as fast as a normal heart rate
for an older child.
O Tachycardia may be a normal, non-dangerous heart rate in response to stress
or anxiety.
O A heart rate of 175 bpm is within normal range for a child up to two.
O Sinus tachycardia is commonly a dangerous rhythm that can quickly
deteriorate to cardiac arrest.
Cardiac arrest in pediatrics is most commonly caused by
O Exercise
o Injury
O Poor diet
O Respiratory problems
When should cardiac pacing be administered to an individual with
symptomatic bradycardia with a pulse?
O If the individual does not respond to CPR
O If the individual does not respond to CPR and pharmacological support
O None of the above
O If the bradycardia is the result of a complete heart block or an abnormal sinus
node function
Which statement regarding distributive shock is NOT true?
O Distributive shock can be characterized as either warm shock or cold shock
O Distributive shock commonly results in inadequate tissue perfusion and
oxygenation.
o Common forms of distributive shock include septic shock, anaphylactic shock,
and neurogenic shock.
O Warm shock is characterized by cool, pale extremities.
Uninterrupted chest compressions are critical when treating individuals in
cardiac arrest. You should only interrupt chest compressions to do the
following:
O Evaluate cardiac rhythm and administer shocks.
O Place an endotracheal tube.
O Administer medications.
O Obtain central IV access
All of the following are signs of upper airway obstruction EXCEPT:
o Wheezing
o Croup
o Grunting
O Stridor

Which statement concerning asystole is NOT correct?
O Drowning, hypothermia, or infection can lead to asystole.
O An asystolic individual has no detectable electrical activity.
O A flat line on an ECG always indicates asystole.
O Asystole is one of the rhythms associated with cardiac arrest.
Which statement about sinus tachycardia is NOT correct?
O Sinus tachycardia may occur in response to fever.
O Sinus tachycardia is a normal, non-dangerous rhythm.
O Sinus tachycardia may occur in response to stress.
O Sinus tachycardia often indicates death.
When should you use the "pediatric bradycardia with a pulse" algorithm?
O For individuals with symptomatic bradycardia
o On all bradycardic individuals without a pulse
o Only on bradycardic individuals with signs of respiratory distress or failure
o Only on bradycardic individuals with signs of shock
Indicators of adequate tissue perfusion include:
O Increased lactate
O Capillary refill time more than four seconds
O Pulse oximetry below 90%
O Urine ouput above one mL/kg per hour
Which of the following is a common sign of hypovolemic shock?
O Hypoglycemia
o Normal urine output
O Tachypnea with mildly elevated work of breathing
O High blood pressure
Which statement about dexamethasone is NOT correct?
O Dexamethasone is indicated for mild to severe croup.
O Dexamethasone commonly causes hypotension.
O Dexamethasone reduces the number and activation of lymphocytes,
eosinophils, mast cells, and macrophages.
O Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid.
Common signs of compensated shock include:
O Increased heart rate
O Increased urine output
O Hypertension
o Wide pulse pressure
