A 6-month-old infant has had a cardiac arrest and the rapid response team has been paged. The nurse arrives in the client's room and observes a licensed practical nurse (LPN) administering CPR to an infant (see figure). To assist the LPN with CPR, the nurse should:
1. Take over rescue breaths with a rate of 1 breath per 5 compressions using a bag-mask device while the LPN continues compressions.
2. Take over compressions using one hand while the LPN uses a mask device to administer rescue breaths.
3. Take over rescue breaths using a rate of 2 breaths per 15 compressions using a bag-mask device while the LPN delivers compressions.
4. Take over compressions at 80 compressions a minute while the LPN uses a bag-mask device to administer rescue breaths.
