Explanation:

When no pulse is detected after rescue breathing, immediate CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is crucial to maintain blood circulation. Simultaneously, turning on the AED (automated external defibrillator) is necessary as it can analyze the heart rhythm and deliver a shock if needed. This dual - action approach addresses both the circulatory and potential arrhythmia issues promptly.

Immediately begin CPR and turn on the AED
