A 6-month-old infant is unresponsive. You begin checking for breathing at the same time you check for the infant's pulse. Which is the maximum time you should spend when trying to simultaneously check for breathing and palpate the infant's pulse before starting CPR

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

When an infant is found without any pulse or breathing, so one should spend ony 10 seconds to check for breathing (and a pulse) and after that you should give CPR.

Taking time more than 10 seconds can be dangerous as heart muscles need immediate pump to restore its function and CPR is the  best way to restore the heart functioning.

Hence, the correct answer is 10 seconds.
