what is the first step before giving cpr to an infant?
check for a pulse
call 9 - 1 - 1
check the scene for safety, form an initial impression, obtain consent from the parent or guardian, and use ppe
start chest compressions immediately

Explanation:

Before administering CPR to an infant, the first - and most crucial - step is to ensure personal and the infant's safety. This involves checking the scene for any hazards, getting a quick overall assessment, obtaining consent from the parent or guardian if possible, and using personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect both the rescuer and the infant. Checking for a pulse is part of the assessment but not the first step, calling 9 - 1 - 1 is important but comes after ensuring safety, and starting chest compressions immediately without ensuring safety is not correct.

Answer:

Check the scene for safety, form an initial impression, obtain consent from the parent or guardian, and use PPE
