You arrive at the scene where a newborn isn't breathing adequately, so you start performing CPR. What depth should your chest compressions be?

A newborn receives different CPR than a child or even an infant. The depth of compression is about .5"-.75", as opposed to the compression given an infant at .5"-1", and the rate of compression is 120 per minute, as opposed to 100 per minute. The target heart rate for a newborn is 80 beats per minute and, for infants, 60 per minute.
