Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The width of the rubber bladder should equal 40 of the circumference of the person's arm. The length of the bladder should equal 80 of this circumference.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Watching the abdomen for movement is the correct technique because the infant's respirations are normally more diaphragmatic than thoracic. The other responses do not reflect correct techniques.
