Question

you check the infants pulse every 2 minutes and detect that the heart rate is less than 60/min with signs of poor perfusion. while your colleague begins cpr, what action do you need to take? choose the correct answer power on the aed, follow the prompts, and use the child pads continue to check the infants pulse every 2 minutes provide rescue breaths every 2 to 3 seconds, or about 20 to 30 breaths per minute count your colleagues compressions out loud, and deliver 2 breaths after every 30 compressions

Explanation:

When an infant has a heart - rate less than 60/min with poor perfusion and CPR has started, an AED should be used as soon as possible. Powering on the AED, following the prompts, and using child pads is the appropriate next step in resuscitation efforts. Continuing to check the pulse every 2 minutes is not the immediate action as CPR has already started. Rescue breaths alone or just counting compressions are not the main action compared to using the AED.

Answer:

Power on the AED, follow the prompts, and use the child pads
