True or False: A one-hand technique can be used for high-quality chest compressions on a smaller child or toddler.

Using a one-hand technique for high-quality chest compressions on a smaller child or toddler is indeed appropriate. This method is particularly useful for rescuers who may find it easier to manage the child's smaller size and allows for effective compressions while maintaining the right depth and rate.

For small children, the chest is not as expansive as in adults, and one-hand compressions can offer adequate force without risking injury. This technique enables the rescuer to maintain a good position, ensuring that the compressions are both effective and safe. Proper technique emphasizes the importance of keeping compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute and allowing for full chest recoil between compressions.

In contrast, other options might suggest using two hands or employing a different technique, but these are generally reserved for older children or adults where more force is required. The focus in pediatric resuscitation is to balance the need for effective compressions without using unnecessary force that could potentially cause harm.
