You are assessing an unresponsive 1-month-old male. you immediately note cyanosis around the lips. hr - 42, rr - 20, spo2 - 80%, cbg - 73. what is your first priority?

The first priority is to begin chest compression.

Explanation:

The reason behind this answer lies on the fact that the patient's heart rate is below 60. When the heart rate of a patient is below 60, the patient is not perfusing adequately and hence the first priority is to start compressions immediately, before going ahead to give rescue breaths and other measures.
