A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response system by using his mobile device. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional rescuers immediately arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt. Two rescuers begin high-quality CPR while the third rescuer leaves to get the AED. What action supports 2-rescuer CPR?

An adult is breathing at a rate of 6 breaths per minute. You should apply supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula. Closely monitor the patient's respirations. Ventilate the patient via bag-valve mask. Apply high concentration oxygen via non-rebreather mask. A 56-year-old female is struggling to breathe and has audible wheezes. She is unable to hold up her head or follow commands. What should you do? Place her in a supine position and assist her ventilation. Obtain a baseline set of vitals and a pulse oximetry reading. Insert a nasopharyngeal airway and apply a non-rebreather mask. Visually inspect the airway for foreign body obstructions. A 20-year-old female is unable to catch her breath after a minor car crash. She has numbness in and tingling to her hands and face. Vital signs are P118, R24. Insert an OPA. Apply high-flow oxygen by non-rebreather mask. Give her a paper bag to breathe into. Assist her ventilations with a bag-valve mask. A 34-year-old man is saying he is choking. You note stridor and hoarseness in his voice. Suction the airway. Perform abdominal thrusts. Assist him in self-administering his inhaler. Encourage him to cough. A 28-year-old patient is experiencing dyspnea and wheezing. Which medication should you request from medical control? Epinephrine auto-injector. Albuterol inhaler. Sublingual nitroglycerin. High-flow oxygen.
