Question 2 of 5

A 2-year-old at an outpatient clinic stops breathing and does not have a pulse. CPR is initiated. When the automated external defibrillator (AED) arrives, the nurse notes that it has only adult AED pads. What is the appropriate action at this time?

A. Continue CPR without using the automated external defibrillator (AED) until paramedics arrive B. Place one AED pad on the chest and the other on the back C. Place one AED pad on the upper right chest and the other on the lower left side D. Place one AED pad on the upper right chest and dispose of the other

Rationale: For a 2-year-old, adult AED pads can be used by placing one on the chest and one on the back to accommodate smaller anatomy. Continuing CPR without AED delays defibrillation, and other options are incorrect pad placements.

Question 3 of 5

A. Clients over the age of 50 are at highest risk for colorectal cancer regardless of health status B. Consuming low amounts of red meat may reduce the risk for developing colorectal cancer C. Clients with inflammatory bowel disease are at higher risk for developing colorectal cancer D. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and maintaining a healthy weight may reduce the risk for developing colorectal cancer E. Clients with a parent or sibling who has had colorectal cancer should have screenings earlier and more often than other clients

Correct Answer: B,C,D,E
