Answer 1

Ans) 1) c. Call 911

Explaination:

- If you need emergency assistance, it is always best to call 911 from a landline or wireless phone.

2) b. Standard precaution

Explaination:

Universal precautions is an approach to infection control to treat all human blood and certain human body fluids as if they were known to be infectious for HIV, HBV and other bloodborne pathogens.

Standard precautions were developed by the CDC to synthesize the major features of universal precautions, which were designed to reduce the risk of transmission of bloodborne pathogens, and body substance isolation, which was designed to reduce the risk of transmission of pathogens from moist body substances.

3) a. Have the second rescuer take over compressions. She will give 15 compressions using two thumbs hand encircling chest technique, and you will give 2 breaths

Explaination:

For 2-rescuer infant and childCPR, one provider should perform chest compressions while the other keeps the airway open and performs ventilations at a ratio of 15:2. If an advanced airway is in place, cycles of compressions and ventilations are no longer delivered.
