1. Which of the following statements regarding two-rescuer child CPR is correct?

• A. The chest should be compressed with one hand, and a compression-to-ventilation ratio of 30:2 should be delivered.
• B. A compression-to-ventilation ratio of 15:2 should be delivered with pauses in compressions to give ventilations.
• C. The chest should be allowed to fully recoil between compressions to optimize venous return.
• D. Compress the chest with one or two hands to a depth equal to one third the diameter of the chest.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In two-rescuer child CPR, the correct compression depth is one third the diameter of the chest. This depth can be achieved by compressing the chest with one or two hands. It is crucial to follow the correct compression depth guideline to ensure effective chest compressions and circulation during CPR for a child.

2. Which of the following is NOT an infectious cause of diarrheal diseases?

• A. Allergy
• B. Bacterial
• C. Parasitic
• D. Viral

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Allergy is the correct answer as it is a non-infectious cause of diarrheal diseases. While bacterial, parasitic, and viral infections can lead to diarrhea by affecting the gastrointestinal tract, allergies are immune system reactions triggered by specific substances and are not caused by infectious agents. Bacterial, parasitic, and viral infections are known to cause infectious diarrhea, making choices B, C, and D incorrect.

3. When does the onset of type 2 diabetes typically occur?

• A. Occurs after pubertal onset in the majority of cases
• B. Occurs due to parental financial status
• C. Occurs in childhood
• D. Occurs after giving birth

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The onset of type 2 diabetes typically occurs after pubertal onset. It is more commonly diagnosed in adulthood, although it can also develop in younger individuals. Factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and obesity play a significant role in the development of type 2 diabetes.

4. When discussing heart conditions, a healthcare provider explains a condition in which the lungs retain extra fluid due to left ventricular impairment. What is this condition?

• A. Whooping cough
• B. Pneumonia
• C. Asthma
• D. Pulmonary edema

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Pulmonary edema is the correct answer. It is a condition characterized by the retention of extra fluid in the lungs, often due to left ventricular impairment. This fluid buildup can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Whooping cough (Choice A), pneumonia (Choice B), and asthma (Choice C) are not conditions related to the retention of fluid in the lungs due to left ventricular impairment. Whooping cough is a bacterial respiratory infection, pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, and asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by airway inflammation and constriction.

5. The caregiver is teaching a new parent about signs of adequate breastfeeding. Which statement by the parent indicates understanding?

• A. My baby should have a bowel movement once a week.
• B. My baby should wet at least six diapers a day.
• C. My baby should feed for 5 minutes on each breast.
• D. My baby should sleep through the night without waking up to feed.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Wetting at least six diapers a day is a key indicator of adequate breastfeeding as it shows that the baby is properly hydrated and receiving enough milk.
