Place the following nursing interventions related to resuscitation in the correct order according to complexity of the method and seriousness of the infant's condition
1. Perform chest compressions.
2. Administer epinephrine.
3. Rub the infant's back with a blanket.
4. Administer 21% oxygen in a positive-pressure ventilator.
5. Administer 100% oxygen in a positive-pressure ventilator.
3, 4, 5, 1, 2
Explanation:
1. Chest compressions should only be performed if the infant's heart rate is below 60 beats/min despite 30 seconds of effective positive-pressure ventilation.
2. Epinephrine should be administered when the heart rate remains below 60 beats/min despite 45 to 60 seconds of chest compressions and ventilation.
3. Rubbing the infant's back is the least invasive therapy and should be attempted before any other resuscitation method.
4. If rubbing the back does not establish adequate breathing, the infant should be placed on 21% oxygen with a positive-pressure ventilator.
5. Oxygen should be increased from 21% to 100% before chest compressions begin.
