Question

if the aed says no shock is needed, what is the correct next step? *
1 point
turn off the aed and wait
remove the aed pads
perform rescue breaths only
resume hands-only cpr

Explanation:

When an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) indicates no shock is needed, the correct next step is to resume Hands - Only CPR. Turning off the AED and waiting (first option) is incorrect as the patient still needs care. Removing AED pads (second option) is not appropriate at this stage. Performing rescue breaths only (third option) is not the standard next step; continuing chest compressions (Hands - Only CPR) is crucial to maintain blood circulation until professional help arrives or the patient shows signs of life.

Answer:

D. Resume Hands-Only CPR
