Which is an appropriate action when an infant becomes apneic?

A) Shake vigorously
B) Roll head side to side
C) Hold by feet upside down with head supported
D) Gently stimulate trunk by patting or rubbing

If the infant is apneic, the infant's trunk should be gently stimulated by patting or rubbing. If the infant is prone, turn onto the back. The infant should not be shaken vigorously, the head rolled side to side, or held by the feet upside down with the head supported. These can cause injury.
