Following an incident, a small child isn’t breathing. You need to administer CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) which include giving rescue breaths. How should you breathe into the child’s mouth?

Explanation: Children and infants have more delicate ribcages than adults, so, after checking their airway is clear, you should use a single hand on their chest (just two fingers for an infant) when giving chest compressions. You should also begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, breathing gently until they're able to breathe.
