PALS - Team Response Scenario: Theo James
COMPLETE SOLUTION 2022
After determining that Theo is unresponsive, Amy must open
the airway using the head-tilt/chin-lift technique and
simultaneously check for breathing and a pulse. To accurately
assess Theo's breathing, she should open the airway to a
________ position. - ✔✔Slightly past-neutral
Next, Amy must simultaneously check for breathing and a
pulse. Choose the recommended location to perform the pulse
check. - ✔✔Amy should simultaneously check for breathing and
a carotid pulse for at least 5 seconds but no more than 10.
Based on her rapid assessment findings, Amy recognized that
Theo was in cardiac arrest and initiated CPR. If Theo were
unresponsive and not breathing normally but had a pulse of ≤
60 bpm with signs of poor perfusion, which action would Amy
take? - ✔✔Tell Joe to get help and an AED. Begin CPR. Continue
compressions and ventilations. Check the pulse and breathing
about every 2 minutes.
Amy performed high-quality chest compressions on Theo. What
is the correct chest compression depth for a child? - ✔✔Amy
compressed the chest about 2 inches (5 cm) or one-third the
anterior-posterior diameter of the chest.
If Theo were a smaller child or toddler, Amy could use a onehand technique to perform high-quality chest compressions.
True or false? - ✔✔True
When performing single-provider CPR on Theo, Amy was
correct to use a compression-to-ventilation ratio of 30:2. True
or false? - ✔✔True - When performing single-provider CPR on a
child, the compression/ventilation ratio is 30:2.
When applying the AED pads, Ana-Lisa used an
anterior/posterior placement. When should providers use this
placement method for a child? - ✔✔For a child, you may use an
anterior/posterior placement if the pads risk touching each
other or the manufacturer recommends doing so. In this case,
Ana-Lisa used the anterior/posterior pad placement according
to the manufacturer's recommendation.
During analysis, the providers will swi
