Question

after an aed delivers a shock, what should the rescuers do next?
choose the correct answer
give 2 breaths and resume cpr
complete a pulse check
resume cpr, starting with chest compressions
clear the victim for another rhythm analysis

Explanation:

After an AED delivers a shock, immediate resumption of CPR (starting with chest compressions) is crucial. The guidelines emphasize minimizing interruptions in chest compressions for better survival chances. Giving breaths first (as in "Give 2 breaths and resume CPR") delays chest compressions. A pulse check ("Complete a pulse check") also causes an unnecessary pause. Clearing for another rhythm analysis ("Clear the victim for another rhythm analysis") is not the immediate next step - CPR should start right away.

Answer:

Resume CPR, starting with chest compressions
