You have just arrived on the scene of "an infant not breathing." You find a 3-month-old child being held tightly by his mother, who is sobbing uncontrollably. Upon your examination, you find that the child is apneic and pulseless and has dependent lividity and early rigor mortis. There are no obvious signs of injury. Which of the following is the best course of action?
A) Begin full resuscitative measures, then contact medical control for orders to terminate resuscitation in the field.
B) Tell the mother that the baby is dead but that you cannot allow her to hold him until the police verify that no crime has been committed.
C) Begin CPR and continue BLS measures until you are inside the ambulance; notify the hospital that you are transporting a deceased SIDS infant.
D) Gently tell the mother that the baby is dead and that there is nothing that can be done for him; allow her to hold him.
