Simple measures for maintaining airway patency include all of the following EXCEPT which intervention?

A consistent respiratory rate less than 10 or more than _____ breaths per minute in a child of any age is abnormal and suggests the presence of a potentially serious problem.

The primary objective of the Airway assessment in the ABCDE model is to assess airway _________.

Within the EVALUATE portion of the evaluate-identify-intervene sequence, the primary assessment uses the ABCDE model for a hands-on evaluation of the critically ill child. What does ABCDE stand for? (Fill in the blanks.)

Assessment of Breathing includes evaluation of:

Tachypnea can have both respiratory and non-respiratory causes. Select all of the non-respiratory cause of tachypnea.

(True or False) Stridor is a sign of lower airway problem.

(True or False) Grunting is often a sign of lung tissue disease resulting from small airway collapse, alveolar collapse or both.

An oxygen saturation of ≥ _____% while a child is breathing room air usually indicates that oxygenation is adequate.

Match the definition with the correct lung and airway sound. 

These lung sounds are typically heard with atelectasis, pneumonia, and interstitial lung disease and sound like the sound made when you rub several hairs together close to your ear.

Match the definition with the correct lung and airway sound. 

This lung sound is usually a higher-pitched breathing sound usually heard on inspiration.  This lung sound is a sign of upper airway obstruction.

Match the definition with the correct lung and airway sound. 

This lung sound is typically a short, low-pitched sound heard during expiration that can sometimes be misinterpreted as a soft cry.  It occurs as a child exhales against a partially closed glottis.

This lung sound is a high-pitched whistling or sighing sound heard most often during expiration and less frequently during inspiration.  Typically indicates lower airway obstruction disorders like bronchiolitis and asthma.
