A nurse is providing education to new parents about infant choking prevention and emergency response. Which action should the nurse emphasize as the FIRST step when an infant is choking and cannot cry, cough, or breathe?
1Position the infant supine and perform chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute
2Position the infant face-down on the forearm with the head lower than the chest and deliver 5 back blows between the shoulder blades✓ 정답
3Hold the infant upright and perform the Heimlich maneuver by placing hands below the rib cage
4Place the infant in a supine position and attempt to visualize and remove the foreign object with fingers
해설
For a choking infant unable to cry, cough, or breathe, the first step is 5 back blows with the infant face-down on the forearm. Other options are incorrect as chest compressions are for CPR, Heimlich is for older children/adults, and finger sweeps risk pushing the object deeper.
