- Use the assess-categorize-decide-act approach to decision making.
- Recognize and manage a child in respiratory distress or failure and compensated or hypotensive shock.
- Describe key elements of effective resuscitation team behaviors and explain why the foundation of successful resuscitation includes both mastery of basic skills and effective team dynamics.
- Prevent further deterioration of the child’s condition during the stabilization and transfer phases of care.
