While performing positive pressure ventilations, adequate tidal volume is evaluated primarily on the basis of:
  1. Pupil response
  2. Skin color
  3. Chest rise
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C -The most accurate way to determine adequate tidal volume while performing positive pressure ventilations is chest rise. Skin color and pupillary response may be indicators of increased oxygen levels within a patient. These are factors that can be ambiguous, depending on any given patient disposition and will never be an indicator of actual tidal volume.
