Explanation:

When placing AED pads on a cardiac - arrest victim, if there is a metal necklace, it only needs to be moved out of the way if it is interfering with pad placement. Removing the necklace may cause unnecessary delay, and covering or insulating the metal in other ways is not the standard protocol.

Answer:

A. Move it out of the way if needed in order to place the pads.
