Immediately after birth, the infant is nonvigorous. The infant is not stimulated, and the provider immediately intubates the trachea and suctions a trace amount of meconium. At 30 seconds after birth, during the intubation, the nurse reports that the heart rate is 40 beats per minute. Of the following, which is the most appropriate next step? 1. Apply the mask and begin positive pressure ventilation (PPV). 2. Begin chest compressions. 3. Intubate the trachea again and suction for meconium. 4. Intubate with an endotracheal tube and begin PPV. 5. Stimulate, warm, dry, and position the head. Correct Response A. Apply the mask and begin PPV.
