Nathan Gongora · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The correct ratio of compressions to breaths is 15 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths if there are two rescuers for a child.A ratio of 30:2 would be used in adult CPR;if there are two rescuers,1 breath is interspersed after 15 compressions but the ratio remains 30:2.Ratios of 5:1 and 5:2 are always incorrect when CPR is performed on a child.
