Which statement is correct about endotracheal drug administration during
resuscitative efforts for pediatric
patients? - It is the least desirable route of administration

Paramedics are called to the home of a 1-year-old child. Their initial assessment
reveals a child who responds only to painful stimuli and has irregular breathing, faint
central pulses, bruises over the abdomen, abdominal distention, and cyanosis. Bag-
mask ventilation with 100% oxygen is initiated. The child's heart rate is 36/min.
Peripheral pulses cannot be palpated, and central pulses are barely palpable. The
cardiac monitor shows sinus bradycardia. Two-rescuer CPR is started. Upon arrival
to the emergency department, the child is intubated and ventilated with 100%
oxygen, and IV access is established. The heart rate is now 150/min with weak
central pulses but no distal pulses. Systolic blood pressure is 74 mm Hg. Which
intervention should be provided next? - Rapid bolus of 20 mL/kg of isotonic
crystalloid
A previously healthy infant with a history of vomiting and diarrhea is brought to the
emergency department by her parents. During your assessment, you find that the
