#11

What is the correct sequence of actions in pediatric CPR?

Check for responsiveness, activate emergency response, open the airway, check for breathing, initiate chest compressions, provide rescue breaths

Activate emergency response, check for responsiveness, open the airway, check for breathing, initiate chest compressions, provide rescue breaths

Check for responsiveness, activate emergency response, open the airway, initiate chest compressions, check for breathing, provide rescue breaths

Activate emergency response, check for responsiveness, open the airway, initiate chest compressions, check for breathing, provide rescue breaths

#12

Which of the following statements about pediatric CPR is true?

Rescue breaths should be delivered too forcefully to ensure proper air exchange.

It is not necessary to assess for a pulse before initiating chest compressions in pediatric CPR.

If an AED is available, it should not be used in pediatric patients younger than 8 years old.

Pediatric CPR should be performed using the same compression-to-ventilation ratio as adult CPR.

#13

What is the appropriate technique for assessing breathing in pediatric CPR?

Observe the rise and fall of the chest

Check for a pulse at the carotid artery

Listen for breath sounds using a stethoscope

Look for skin discoloration

#14
