Question

question 30 (mandatory) (2.857 points) \you are caring for a victim of sudden cardiac arrest who collapsed in front of you (witnessed). in this situation, what should you do immediately?\ options: begin chest compressions and call for nearby help; do not start compressions and just apply aed pads as soon as they are available; perform 1.5 to 3 minutes of cpr before applying the aed pads

Explanation:

For a witnessed sudden cardiac arrest, the first step is to start chest compressions and call for help (like activating emergency services or getting an AED). Not starting compressions (option 2) is wrong. Performing 1.5 - 3 mins of CPR before AED pads (option 3) isn't standard; AED should be used as soon as available after starting compressions. So the correct action is to begin chest compressions and call for nearby help.

Answer:

A. Begin chest compressions and call for nearby help
