A. Adenosine is used for supraventricular tachycardias, not ventricular fibrillation.

C. Atropine is used for symptomatic bradycardia, not ventricular fibrillation.

D. Epinephrine is used for pulseless rhythms and severe bradycardia, not ventricular fibrillation.

1/2 to 1 inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) is the recommended compression depth for infants during pediatric CPR.

B. 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 4 cm) is the recommended compression depth for children (ages 1 to puberty) during pediatric CPR.

D. 2 to 2.5 inches (5 to 6.5 cm) is the recommended compression depth for adult patients during CPR.

Ventricular fibrillation and B. Pulseless ventricular tachycardia are treated with defibrillation, not synchronized cardioversion.

A. Ventricular fibrillation and B. Pulseless ventricular tachycardia are treated with defibrillation, not synchronized cardioversion

D. Asystole does not respond to cardioversion and is managed with advanced life support interventions.

0.01 mg/kg is the correct dose of epinephrine in neonatal resuscitation, not for pediatric advanced life support.

C. 0.5 mg/kg and D. 1 mg/kg are not appropriate doses for pediatric cardiac arrest situations.

C. 0.5 mg/kg and D. 1 mg/kg are not appropriate doses for pediatric cardiac arrest situations.

B. Jaw thrust is used when there is suspicion of a cervical spine injury; otherwise, head tilt-chin lift is preferred.

C. Neck extension and D. Hyperextension of the head are not appropriate maneuvers for pediatric airway management.

C. Neck extension and D. Hyperextension of the head are not appropriate maneuvers for pediatric airway management.

A. 60-80 compressions per minute is the recommended rate of chest compressions for older children and adults in CPR.

B. 80-100 compressions per minute is the recommended rate of chest compressions for infants in CPR.

D. 120-140 compressions per minute is not a standard rate of chest compressions in pediatric advanced life support.

Mild respiratory distress does not require an advanced airway device; oxygen supplementation and monitoring may be sufficient.

C. Initial assessment of a non-breathing child requires basic airway management techniques before considering advanced airway devices.

D. Effective spontaneous breathing does not require an advanced airway device.

B. Epinephrine is administered after the first defibrillation, followed by amiodarone if the rhythm persists.

C. Amiodarone is given after the first shock and epinephrine if the rhythm persists.

D. Defibrillation is the first step, followed by amiodarone, and then epinephrine if necessary.

Hyperventilation, C. Bradycardia, and D. Trauma can lead to pediatric cardiac arrest, but respiratory failure is a common cause.
