The 20-year-old healthy soccer player is brought to the emergency department after collapsing at the end of a summer soccer game. The patient is lethargic and confused about the event. Upon assessment, the nurse notes flushed, dry skin that is warm to the touch. The oral mucosa is dry, as well. Vitals are as follows: temperature 40.7°C, heart rate 122 bpm, respiratory rate 20, and blood pressure 116/64 mm Hg. A rectal thermistor is inserted and aggressive cooling measures are instituted. After 30 minutes in the ice bath, the patient’s rectal temperature is 39.1°C and the ice is partially melted. The nurse notes the rectal thermistor has stopped working; there are no other rectal thermistors in the facility. Which action by the nurse is most appropriate? 

Which statement is true regarding the provision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the community with an automated external defibrillator (AED)?

 The nurse is the first responder after a child is pulled unresponsive from the pool. There is no pulse and no breathing. The nurse sends someone for the AED, instructs another person to call 911, and begins chest compressions. By looking transversely at the chest, select the depth to which the nurse compresses the chest, if each line represents an inch of compression.
