Which of the following differences in the pediatric respiratory system should be considered when assessing the pediatric patient?

1. You will most likely note that the child's abdomen rises and falls during respiration, more than that of an adult.
2. Breath sounds from functional areas of the lung may be transmitted through the chest wall such that a pneumothorax may go undetected.
3. The resiliency of the pediatric ribs causes them to absorb most of the energy from blunt trauma, thereby protecting the underlying organs.
4. Although a child's smaller ribs fracture more easily, it is uncommon to see rib fractures in the abused child.
5. The pediatric patient will more readily display mediastinal shift with a tension pneumothorax.
