Answer: B -When performing CPR on a child, the compression to ventilation ratio is30:2.

If there is no pulse, begin with chest compressions and provide rescue breathing. The clinician’s hands should be placed over the lower half of the patient’s sternum between the nipples. Push down by using the heel of one hand with the other hand on top. Compressions should be at least 100 per minute. Tilt the patient’s head to do rescue breathing. For a child, depress the chest one third to one half of the chest depth. Compression to ventilation ratio for a one-person CPR for children is 30:2. For a two-person CPR for children, the ratio should be 15:2.
