Consider a Child's head size correct answers A child's head is proportionately larger than an adult's until age 4. Because of this, children often fall head first. As a result you should suspect head injury whenever there is a serious MOI. Up to 12-18 months infants will have a soft spot just to the anterior center of the skull called the anterior fontanelle. A sunken fontanelle may indicate dehydration and a bulging fontanelle may indicate elevated intercranial pressure.
Pediatric Assessment Triangle (PAT) correct answers is a method of pediatric assessment from two viewpoints. The first is the general impression formed as you approach the child, often referred to as an assessment "from the doorway." The second is the impression based on the remainder of the primary assessment that is done next to the patient. Each of the three sides of the triangle represents a different patient presentation that should be evaluated:
• Appearance
• Work of breathing
• Circulation to skin
Appearance correct answers For the first side of the triangle, look at the patient's appearance. Consider the child's mental status using the "AV" part of AVPU (alertness, verbal response). Is the child acting appropriately? How is the patient's muscle tone and general interactiveness? Is the child
consolable by a parent or caregiver? Is his look or gaze and speech or cry appropriate? For appearance, you look at mental status us-
ing the "PU" part of AVPU (response to pain or unresponsiveness).
WOB correct answers For the second side of the triangle, observe the patient's breathing (including airway). Are there any abnormal airway/breathing sounds such as hoarseness, muffled speech, grunting, wheezing, stridor, or crowing? Is there any abnormal body position such as the sniffing
position, tripoding, or refusing to lie down? Are there retractions, nasal flaring, "seesaw" breathing, or head bobbing? For breathing, you start by ensuring that the airway is open and closely observing the quality of the patient's breathing.
Circulation to skin correct answers For the base of the triangle, look at those signs that might indicate a circulation problem, such as pallor, mottling, or cyanosis (a gray-blue coloration). For circulation, you check for pulse, subtle cyanosis, and capillary refill.
