An infant is short of breath and has rhonchi in both lungs. He is alert with adequate respirations at a rate of 38 breaths per minute. His skin color is pink but cool to the touch. Due to the patient's movement, it is difficult to get a reliable pulse oximeter reading. Additionally, when EMRs place a pediatric mask on his face, he becomes very upset and physically struggles to remove it. In this situation you would:

A) Place a nasal airway and start positive pressure ventilation
B) Secure the mask to the patient's face using tape
C) Allow the mother to hold the infant and provide blow-by oxygen
D) Transport the infant with no further attempt at oxygen therapy

C) Allow the mother to hold the infant and provide blow-by oxygen
