Explanation:

In a resuscitation team, clear communication is crucial. Pretending not to hear (option 2) is unprofessional and may delay care. Giving the device to another without communication (option 3) is also not proper. Trying to do it poorly (option 4) risks ineffective ventilation. Telling the leader about discomfort (option 1) allows for re - assignment and ensures the patient gets proper care.

Answer:

Tell the Team Leader you are not comfortable performing that task.
