The correct answer is; The 5 year old child with asthma because left untreated could lead to asthmaticus.

Further Explanation:

The 5 year old child should be seen first and treated as an acute emergency situation. Since the child already has asthma and is having chest pain and a cough she must be seen first. It can be assumed that the parents have already given the child the inhaler and it did not help.

When the child was unresponsive to the inhaler or bronchodilators the correct course of action was to be seen at the emergency room. Left untreated this can lead to several conditions such as;

  • hypercarbia
  • secondary respiratory failure
  • hypoxemia

The smog only worsens this condition and the could have fatal consequences if not treated immediately.

olga55 [171]

The first one is have the refrigerant level checked by a qualified professional. The technician will be checking any possible leak, damage and conduct test on the system. Second is to ensure airflow. Change the filter regularly, usually about every three months or maybe monthly, depending on its usage. Have the coils cleaned by a professional if it is already dirty. The third method is to not use your air conditioner when the outside temperature is below 60º. You will be saving energy and money on utility costs by just opening the windows on cool days.
