Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Two breaths to 15 compressions is the standard for infants and children when two rescuers are present. One breath to every five chest compressions is not the appropriate ratio for CPR in this age group. Reassessment of the child should take place after 20 cycles or 1 minute.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In a toddler, the carotid pulse is palpated. The radial pulse is not considered a central pulse. The femoral pulse is not the most central and accessible. Brachial pulse is felt in infants younger than 1 year of age.
