    The first priority is to begin chest compression.

    Explanation:

    The reason behind this answer lies on the fact that the patient's heart rate is below 60. When the heart rate of a patient is below 60, the patient is not perfusing adequately and hence the first priority is to start compressions immediately, before going ahead to give rescue breaths and other measures.
