Question 2 • Contemporary Health

Which statement describes a main difference between CPR performed on adults and CPR performed on infants?

Answer
A
For infants only, check for signs of life and circulation first.
B
For adults only, alternate between compressions and breathing.
C
For adults only, do compressions before calling 911.
D
For infants only, perform light chest compressions and shallow rescue breathing.

Explanation

Infant CPR uses gentler chest compressions, pressing about one-third of the chest’s depth, and gentle breaths just enough to make the chest rise. Adults also receive alternating compressions and breaths, so that is not an adult-only step. Choice D describes the infant-specific difference, though “gentle” is more accurate than “shallow” for the rescue breaths.
