Question 2728
If you have to give artificial respiration to a small child (a baby), which method will you use?
- The mouth-to-mouth method.
- None; artificial respiration cannot be given to babies.
- The mouth-to-mouth-and-nose method.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The mouth-to-mouth-and-nose method.
For an infant, rescue breaths are given by covering both the infant's mouth and nose with the rescuer's mouth. Blow gently, just enough to make the chest rise.
