LPN Fundamentals of Nursing Course Questions
Question 1 of 5
The correct technique when performing chest compression on a 4 month old infant is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For a 4-month-old infant, chest compressions use two fingers (index and middle) on the sternum, just below the nipple line, per pediatric CPR guidelines (e.g., AHA). This delivers 1.5-inch depth at 100-120 beats per minute, suitable for an infant's small, fragile chest, minimizing injury. Both hands suit adults, overwhelming an infant's frame, risking rib fractures. The heel of one hand applies for children over 1 year, too forceful here. The palm of one hand lacks precision, potentially misplacing pressure. Two fingers balance force and control, ensuring effective circulation during cardiac arrest while protecting the infant's delicate anatomy, making it the standard technique in neonatal resuscitation.
