Unresponsive 2 month old baby

Question 1 of 10

You are a third year medical student on an emergency medicine rotation. The triage nurse tells you that a young mother has brought in her 2 and 1/2 month old baby boy because he “won’t wake up” and has been “shaking”.

You quickly enter the room and find Latisha, a 17 year old first time mom and her son Jamal. Jamal is unresponsive.

What do you do first?

Assess airway, breathing and circulation as you ask the mom to briefly tell you what happened

Urgently page the pediatric ICU to admit this child

Obtain a detailed history to determine what happened before you proceed with the physical exam

Rush Jamal to diagnostic imaging for a full body CT scan
