cough encouragement

offering a drink of water
infants: 5 chest thrusts and 5 back slaps

Explanation:

1. First question:

• AED is a medical device. "Automated External Defibrillizer" is the correct full - name. "Automatic Electric Destabilizer" and "Anachronic Electronic Desanitizer" are not real medical terms related to AED.

1. Second question:

• AEDs are designed to be user - friendly. They provide voice prompts (and often visual prompts too) that guide the operator through the process of using the device for defibrillation.

1. Third question:

• When a person is choking, offering a drink of water can be dangerous as it may further obstruct the airway. Cough encouragement helps if the obstruction is partial. The Heimlich Maneuver (abdominal thrusts for adults/children) and 5 chest thrusts and 5 back slaps for infants are standard first - aid procedures for choking.

Answer:

1. Automated External Defibrillator
2. True
3. Offering a drink of water
