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.

Select the statement that best describes the specific roles of white blood cells in the inmune response
icang [17]

White blood cells which are also called leukocytes, are an important part of the immune system. There are five major types of white blood cells that are neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes and basophils.

These cells help fight infections by attacking bacteria, viruses, and germs that invade the body.

White blood cells originate in the bone marrow but circulate throughout the bloodstream.

An average normal range is between 3,500 and 10,500 white blood cells per microliter of blood (mcL)
