To determine the correct action, we need to establish the recommended rate for rescue breaths when a child is not breathing normally but has a pulse.

The correct action involves delivering rescue breaths at a rate that sustains adequate oxygenation without over-ventilating. Specifically, the recommended rate is:

- 1 breath every 2 to 3 seconds, which translates to approximately 20 to 30 breaths per minute.

Thus, the correct answer to how to deliver rescue breaths in this situation is:
1 breath every 2 to 3 seconds, or about 20 to 30 breaths per minute.
