Alexa has been diagnosed with otitis media, which is an inflammation of the middle ear.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The symptoms of irritation and pulling of ears as noted by mother are all symptomatic of otitis media, inflammation of the middle ear.  She should be immediately started on analgesics adequately.

And, depending on the symptoms whether it is mild or severe, the dosage of antibiotics can be considered.  Since Alexa is a 2-year-old, antibiotics can be deferred.  If the symptoms are severe, a dose of amoxicillin could be started in case she is not allergic to penicillin.

NISA [10]

An unconscious adult victim is gasping for breath and having difficulty breathing. The scene is safe and help has been called. Next you should use the head tilt chin lift procedure.

An unconscious patient is at risk of blocking their airway and suffocating. The main reason for this occurring is due to the tongue. An unconscious patient loses all their muscular tone, and this includes the tongue! The tongue can fall back and block the airway.

This situation is an emergency – without a supply of oxygen reaching the lungs, the patient will suffocate in a matter of minutes.

In CPR, we use the head-tilt, chin-lift method to open the airway.

How to Perform a Head-tilt Chin-lift :

  1. Kneel next to the patient’s head
  2. Place one hand on the patient’s forehead and tilt the head gently backward
  3. Place two fingers under the bony part of their chin and lift the chin vertically upwards
  4. Take care not to place any pressure on the soft part of the neck as this could obstruct the airway

If a cervical spine injury is suspected, then the modified jaw thrust would be used in place of "head-tilt, chin-lift". The jaw thrust is a technique used on patients with a suspected spinal injury and is used on a supine patient.
