Question

why must you remove all clothes covering the chest before placing aed pads? * 1 point
to make the victim more comfortable
to ensure pads stick properly and shock is effective
because clothes can cause electric burns
to check for injuries underneath

Explanation:

When using an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), the pads need to have direct contact with the skin for the electrical shock to be delivered effectively. Clothing covering the chest would prevent proper adhesion of the pads and interfere with the transmission of the shock. Making the victim comfortable, checking for injuries, or the idea that clothes directly cause electric burns are not the primary reasons for removing chest - covering clothes before placing AED pads.

Answer:

B. To ensure pads stick properly and shock is effective
