Good All vitals are within normal limits for a child of this age. NES guidelines state that for a child 6-12 the heart rate is 70-110, respirations 20-30 and BP is 80-120.

Which statement best describes the Bronchi?

Hollow tubes that further divide into the lower airways of the lungs and are supported by cartilage.

There are two separate respiratory drives. The ______________________ and the ___________________. If a COPD patient is a carbon dioxide retainer then_______________________

Hypoxic / Carbon dioxide / You should deliver oxygen via nasal canula at 4-6 LPM

Your patient is a 75 year old male who may have had a stroke. He is unconscious and breathing with snoring respirations. After performing a head tilt chin lift maneuver, the snoring is still present. What is your best course of action?

Insert a nasopharyngeal, measured from the nostril to the earlobe

OPA's and NPA's can become ineffective at maintaining the airway if you don't?

Keep the head in the proper position

As you approach, you see the patient has an unused Epinephrine auto injector clutched in his hand. His respirations are shallow at about 8 breaths a minute and he only responds with slight moans when given a sternal rub. His pulse is weak at 50 beats per minute and his blood pressure is 110/80. What would be the most appropriate treatment for this patient?

Mouth to mask ventilations at 10-12 per minute

911 dispatch calls you to the scene of a "man down". You arrive to find a man sitting up against the wall of his garage. He has a glazed look in his eyes and abnormal respirations.

They protect the lower airway.

During inspiration, the air enters the nose and then proceeds:

Through the nasopharynx and then the larynx into the trachea then the bronchi and alveoli

Which of the following choices is not part of the respiratory system?

Thyroid

Cheyne-Stokes breathing is characterized by __________.
