Correct Answer: 4, 5, 3, 2, 1

RATIONALE

4. The nurse must first determine the

infant’s responsiveness by thumping the

baby’s feet.

5. The nurse should then open the child’s

airway using the head-tilt chin-lift technique,

with care taken not to hyperextend

the neck. Then the nurse should look,

listen, and feel for respirations.

3. The nurse then administers quick puffs of

air while covering the child’s mouth and

nose, preferably with a rescue mask.

2. The nurse should determine whether the

infant has a pulse by checking the brachial

artery.

1. If the infant has no pulse, the nurse should

begin chest compressions using two fingers

at a rate of 30:2.
