A respiratory therapist is attending a delivery of an infant with an estimated gestational age of 36 weeks born by c-section. The infant is receiving supplemental oxygen at 0.40 by t-piece resuscitator. The physician requests assessment of preductal oxygen saturation. The respiratory therapist should position the pulse oximeter probe on the infant’s:
