Respuesta :

B, if you cant do that them you do A, but if there is no help you wait five minutes for the police and what not, but if he died cover him with a blanket and day "idiot, choked on a chicken nugget."

The correct answer is B. Determine if an AED is available.

Explanation

An automated external defibrillator is a medical device used to revive a person in sudden cardiac arrest. To use an AED, the following steps must be followed:

1. Check if the person is breathing and has a pulse.

2. If you cannot feel the person's pulse or breathing, call emergency help (911)

3. If there is an automated external defibrillator, turn it on and follow the instructions it prompts to check breathing and pulse. Also, it will tell you how to place the electrode pads on the person's chest.

4. From then on you just have to wait for help to arrive as the AED will automatically measure the person's heart rate and determine if a shock is needed. (If so, the machine prompts the user to step back and press a button to shock.)

5. Only in cases where the defibrillator has delivered a shock will it prompt you on how to begin CPR.

According to the above, the correct answer is B. Additionally, when a situation like this occurs, you should not cover the patient with a blanket, or leave him alone, or wait, any of these actions can endanger the life of the patient.
