Answer: D. Begin assisting her ventilations with a bag-mask device and assess her pulse rate.

Explanation: In pediatric care

A Bag-valve-mask (BVM) device is a portable resuscitator. In pediatric care, when a patient is having trouble breathing, it is of utmost importance that the clinician first establishes an airway. A BVM with hundred percent oxygen should be used during the wait before intubation.

 

Once this has been done, the next priority is to monitor the pulse of the child. This can be through the done by a pulse oximeter or ensuring chest motions are synchronized with breathing sounds.
