1. You are walking from the parking garage into the hospital for your shift when you hear a woman scream “Help! My baby’s not breathing.” You turn around to see a woman frantically taking her infant out of the car seat. There are other people in the parking garage who witness this event.

As you approach the mother at the car, what will be your first intervention?

2. You verify scene safety and the mother tells you that her baby who is 9 months old stopped breathing on the way to the hospital. What should be your next intervention?

3. The infant is not responsive and in light of the unresponsive state, what is your next intervention?

4. A bystander in the parking garage says they will go for help and activate the emergency response in the hospital. Your next step is to check for breathing and a pulse.

You check for breathing by scanning the victim’s chest for rise and fall. As you do this, you check for a pulse. At what location will you perform a pulse check for this infant victim?

5. You verify that the victim is not breathing and there is no pulse present. Since there is no pulse present you begin CPR with chest compressions.

You are the only rescuer at this time, what will be your compression to ventilation ratio for CPR

6. You begin CPR with chest compressions. For single-rescuer CPR, How many fingers do you use for chest compressions?

7. After approx. 2 minutes of CPR, a second health care provider offers to help with CPR. She says she has a pocket mask and can perform rescue breathing while you perform chest compressions.

What is the compression to ventilation ratio when providing two rescuer CPR to an infant?

8. (True or False) Since you now have a second rescuer, helping with the resuscitation by providing rescue breaths, you will continue performing 2-finger technique for chest compressions.

9. You and your helper continue with CPR switching roles every 2 minutes to avoid fatigue. When should you stop CPR?

Great job with this resuscitation!
Last question.

(True or False). Hands-only CPR may be used on infants and children if there is only a single rescuer.
