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?

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

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
