Pediatric Ot Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the correct management?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: For a 1-year-old (10 kg) with anaphylaxis (urticaria, wheeze post-peanut ingestion), the correct adrenaline dose is 0.15 mL of 1:1000 IM (0.15 mg), per guidelines (0.01 mg/kg). Choice A (0.1 mL 1:1000) is 0.1 mg, underdosing. Choice B (0.1 mL 1:10,000) is 0.01 mg, far too low. Choice C (1 mL 1:10,000) is 0.1 mg, still inadequate. Choice D (0.1 mL 1:10,000 SC) is incorrect dose and route (IM preferred). None match the standard, but typically 0.15 mL 1:1000 IM is correct.
Question 2 of 5
The daily amount of intralipid required in preterm infants to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Standard is 0.5-1 g/kg/day of intralipid, not mg/kg (ASPEN). Assuming a typo, 0.5 g/kg aligns with A’s intent as the minimal dose to prevent deficiency.
