You are about to use a bag-valve-mask on a pediatric. What should not be used?
  1. Head tilt
  2. Chin lift
  3. Pressure pop-off valve
  4. Oxygen
Explanation
Answer - C - When using a bag-valve-mask on a pediatric, a pressure pop-off valve should not be used. Pediatric bag-valve-masks should not contain pressure pop-off valves; if one exists, it should be disengaged. The reason is that higher pressures may be needed to ventilate the pediatric patient.
