correct answer
C Perform a low-dose, non-contrast CT scan without sedation

Recent studies have shown that CT imaging has a high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of foreign body aspiration (FBA) in pediatric patients. While rigid bronchoscopy remains the gold standard for situations with high-suspicion for FBA, CT imaging should be considered in low-suspicion situations when patients are in no respiratory distress and chest radiographs are unremarkable. If a CT scan is obtained, low-dose radiation protocols without sedation or contrast are recommended.
