Bristol Stool Chart Quiz

Stool Types

• Separate hard lumps, like nuts, and hard to pass, are described as Type 1 stools.
• Fluffy pieces with ragged edges and a mushy consistency, are described as Type 6 stools.
• Watery with no solid pieces, are described as Type 7 stools.

Tachycardia in Children

• A child with tachycardia and poor tissue perfusion is considered unstable.
• The initial electrical dose for synchronized cardioversion in a stable child with tachycardia is 0.5-1 J/kg.
• The correct sequence of energy levels for defibrillation in a child with cardiac arrest and a shockable rhythm is 2 J/kg, then 4 J/kg, and increasing in increments of 2 J/kg.
• If a child with tachycardia has poor tissue perfusion, the next step is to administer synchronous cardioversion.
• The correct action for a stable child with tachycardia is to monitor and observe.
• A child with tachycardia who has poor tissue perfusion or signs of shock is considered unstable.
• The initial electrical dose for synchronized cardioversion in a child with tachycardia is 0.5-1 J/kg.
• The correct energy level for the second shock in defibrillation for a child with cardiac arrest is 4 J/kg.
• The maximum energy level for subsequent shocks in defibrillation for a child with cardiac arrest is 10 J/kg or the maximum adult dose.
• If a stable child with tachycardia has poor tissue perfusion, the next step is to administer synchronous cardioversion.
