ANS: C. Infants breathe at a<br>faster ratethan adults in order to supply more oxygen to a higher metabolic rate.<br>Their surfacearea is relatively larger, especially at the head, making infants more<br>susceptible toheat loss.An infant&#8217;s rib cage and abdominal muscles are much less<br>developed than<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>3 \/ 47<br>adults, which places internal organs such as the spleen and liver at greater risk forinjury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li>A patient should receive oxygen via a non-rebreather mask if he or she is<br>having difficulty breathing or is:<br>A. frightened.<br>B. in pain.<br>C. cyanotic.<br>D. mentally unstable.

ANS: A. When using a rigid catheter to suction infants and small children, take care not to touch the back of the throat,<br>since stimulation here an cause bradycardia due to stimulation of the vagus nerve.Touching the back of the throat or around the base of the tongue in any patient cantrigger a gag, which could lead to vomiting, but the chance of this is not any greaterin pediatric patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"8\">\n<li>When an EMT-B suctions a patient, he or she should only insert the catheterto what point?<br>A. only to the front of the mouth<br>B. never past the last molar<br>C. only to the top of the epiglottis<br>D. never past the base of the tongue ANS: D.
