Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The brachial site is easily accessible, and would be the best site for the nurse to use in this scenario. The radial site is not used on infants, and the apical site would be difficult to access when chest compressions are performed. The posterior tibial site would not yield an accurate reading due to the difficulty in finding it.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
