You are called to a private residence for a 6-year-old male not breathing right. Upon your arrival, you find a very anxious child lying on his bed. He has a respiratory rate of 34 breaths per minute and you notice wheezing on expiration. His skin is very warm and dry. The mother states he’s had a fever for two days and was complaining about a sore throat and pain on swallowing earlier in the afternoon. Which of the following is the best course of action?
A) Use a tongue depressor to check the patient’s throat before taking any other action
B) Administer high-flow, high-concentration oxygen and transport
C) Perform back slaps and finger sweeps to clear the airway
D) Assist the patient’s ventilations with a bag-valve-mask device
