Explanation:

In a situation where a patient has no pulse after rescue breathing, the immediate action is to start CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and use an AED (automated external defibrillator). Among the options, "Immediately begin CPR and turn on the AED" is the correct approach as both CPR and AED use are crucial in cardiac arrest scenarios. The first option focuses only on CPR with a colleague counting, but AED is also needed. The third option skips initial CPR focus.

Answer:

Immediately begin CPR and turn on the AED
