Question

1. when the aed arrives, what is the first step for using it? press the shock button apply the pads to the chest turn on the aed clear the patient 08 multiple choice 0/1 after the aed pads are attached to the person, the aed detects ventricular fibrillation. what is the next step when using an aed? clear the patient follow the aed prompts press the shock button check for a carotid pulse

Explanation:

When using an AED, the first step is to turn it on. After the pads are attached and ventricular fibrillation is detected, the next step is to follow the AED prompts. Pressing the shock button is not the first step (as the AED needs to be on and analyze first), and clearing the patient is usually done just before delivering a shock (after following prompts). Checking for a carotid pulse is part of assessing the patient initially but not the next step after detection of ventricular fibrillation in the described sequence.

Answer:

For the first question (7), the correct answer is "Turn on the AED". For the second question (08), the correct answer is "Follow the AED prompts".
