Question

what is important to remember about aed pad placement on infants?
you may need to place 1 pad on the chest and 1 on the back, according to the diagrams on the pads
ensure that pads overlap each other in very small infants
if child aed pads are not available, do not use the aed
place 1 adult pad on the chest

Explanation:

• For infants, AED pad placement may require one pad on the chest and one on the back as per pad diagrams. Overlapping pads (option 2) is incorrect as it can cause arcing and harm. If child AED pads aren't available, adult pads can be used (so option 3 is wrong). Using one adult pad on the chest (option 4) is incorrect as two pads are needed for proper current distribution.

Answer:

You may need to place 1 pad on the chest and 1 on the back, according to the diagrams on the pads.
