You are by the side of a two-month-old baby who was born prematurely and is on an apnea monitoring. while in your care, the apnea alarm emits a loud alarm. quick assessment of the baby reveals no respiratory activity. which one of the following should you do immediately?

If the alarm goes off, first check the monitor. If the monitor is still attached, gently rub your infants back, arms, and legs.  Even then if the baby does not start to breathe again perform the CPR and call 911.

Explanation:

Infants need constant monitoring, a slight mishandle and it can lead to severe consequences. If the infants are unable to breath, apnea monitor is suggested for safe breathing.

Even on apnea home monitor, the baby stops breathing, immediately but softly rub the baby's arm, legs, and back. Even if this does not help, perform CPR and call 911.  

you don't know what is actually on them. they get sprayed with pesticides so what is really in that? people can lie on labels or you just might not understand what is actually in there

when you rub, you also apply pressure, that pressure can urge the poop to come out. i think that when your rubbing, you also might be slightly breaking it up and that can further fill the stomach.
