You are giving ventilations to a 5-year-old child using a resuscitation mask. You should give 1 ventilation about every:

  1. 1 second

  2. 2 seconds

  3. 3 seconds

  4. 5-6 seconds

The correct answer is: 1 second

Giving 1 ventilation per second is recommended for a 5-year-old child using a resuscitation mask to maintain proper oxygenation and ventilation. Ventilations should be given at a consistent rate, so options B, C, and D are not correct. Giving ventilations every 2, 3, or 5-6 seconds may result in inadequate oxygenation and ventilation for the child. It is important to follow proper resuscitation guidelines and training for pediatric patients to ensure the best possible outcome.
