Final answer:
The accepted ratio of compressions to ventilations for a 6 year old drowning victim when only 1 rescuer is available is 15:2 (Option D).
Step-by-step explanation:
The accepted ratio of compressions to ventilations for a 6 year old drowning victim when only 1 rescuer is available is 15:2 (Option D).
This means that for every 15 compressions, 2 ventilations should be given.
When performing CPR on a child, the rescuer should use the same technique as for adults, but with modifications to the ratio of compressions to ventilations. The ratio for child CPR is generally 30:2, but for a 6 year old specifically, the ratio is reduced to 15:2, with emphasis on providing more compressions.
