Question 3 of 10
3. Question
1 point(s)A child is unresponsive and is not breathing. Emergency response was activated and now a pulse check shows that the child does have a pulse.

What is your next intervention?

For the questions that you have to drag the answers down to match the descriptions is very hard to do on an Ipad or phone. I am often times missing these questions due to the way this is set up. Is there anyway to have the descriptions closer to the answers? For example, quiz #2 question 2 of the systematic approach. The descriptions strider, gurgling, wheezing…etc are so far down on the page, that my phone and IPad will not allow me to drag the answers down to the correct description.
Thank you .
Great website. I use it for ACLS and PALS!
ACLS says
Thanks for the feedback. I try and figure out some other method for delivering these questions. Kind regards, Jeff

That question “tricked” me too. After reading Jeff’s response, I said to myself ” OK, I KNEW THAT” …

I hope this helps I get horrible performance test anxiety
Jeff with admin. says
I have many customers that have severe test anxiety, and they state that the website/course helps them to pass with much less stress and anxiety.
If you have any questions during your training, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Jeff

HMMM…IN READING ALGORITHM PG 30, IT APPEARS TO ME, YOU CALL FOR HELP AFTER DETERMINING PAT EVAL “FROM DOORWAY” IS; A CHILD IS UNRESPONSIVE, NEEDING INTERVENTION,THEN BREATHING/ PULSE STATUS IS DETERMINED….QUESTION 1 AND 9 SEEM CONTRADICTORY. WHAT AM I MISSING?
Jeff with admin. says
Question 1 states “After it is determined that the child has no pulse, what should be done?” So here you are lower in the algorithm. If you just performed a pulse check this means you have already established unresponsiveness and activated emergency services.
Question. 2 states: “In the PALS systematic approach algorithm, if the child is determined to be unresponsive or immediate intervention is needed what will be your next step?” Here unresponsiveness is established and the next step after establishing unresponsiveness is to activate emergency services.
Kind regards, Jeff
