A nurse is giving chest thrusts with two fingers to an infant with a partial obstruction. Which of the following places is most suitable for giving chest thrusts to an infant?
A) Above the nipple line
B) Over the heart
C) Middle of the sternum
D) Below the rib cage
C
Feedback:
Nurses turn the infant supine and use two fingers to give five chest thrusts at approximately one per second to the middle of the breastbone just below the nipple line, not above the nipple line. They do not give thrusts below the rib cage or close to the heart. They should repeatedly alternate five back blows and chest thrusts until the object is dislodged or the infant fails to respond.
