Free Infant CPR Practice Test: Questions & Answers for Babies 0–1

Free Infant CPR Test Questions & Answers

This infant CPR practice test is designed for new parents, childcare workers, pediatric nurses, and anyone responsible for the care of babies aged 0–12 months. Infant CPR differs from adult and child CPR because babies have more fragile bodies, smaller airways, and require gentler techniques. This practice test covers essential skills, including how to check responsiveness, perform effective chest compressions using the two-finger technique, deliver rescue breaths safely, and maintain the correct compression-to-breath ratio of 30:2. By reviewing these questions and answers, you’ll build confidence to respond effectively in an emergency, whether at home, in a daycare, or in a clinical setting. Use this test to assess your knowledge, identify gaps, and reinforce critical infant CPR concepts before taking a certification course or caring for infants in real-life emergencies.

Equip yourself with the knowledge and confidence to handle infant emergencies. Our free infant CPR practice test is designed to help you review lifesaving techniques, such as chest compressions and rescue breathing, tailored specifically for infants. Our practice test covers all key steps of infant CPR, including:

Scene safety and responsiveness check
EMS/AED activation
Compression rate (100–120/min) and depth (4 cm/1.5 in or ≥⅓ chest diameter)
Correct hand placement (Heel of one hand or 2-thumb encircling for 2 rescuers)
Ventilation ratios (30:2 single rescuer, 15:2 two rescuers)
Airway opening (head-tilt chin-lift)
Choking relief (5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts, plus steps if unresponsive)
