Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
After every third compression, the neonate should receive a breath of 100 O2, coordinated with compressions to avoid simultaneous delivery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When performing CPR alone, the rescuer must remember to give 30 compressions to two breaths for adults, children, and infants until an automatic external defibrillator arrives.
