First Aid and Emergency Response

Question 23 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

If you are in an emergency scenario and have forgotten how to use an AED, what should you do?

Answer
A
Do nothing until the EMTs arrive.
B
Listen to the voice instructions on the AED.
C
Perform the Heimlich maneuver on the patient instead.
D
Read the extensive operator’s manual packaged with the AED.

Explanation

AEDs are designed to guide users with clear voice prompts, including when to attach the pads and when to stand clear. Follow those instructions and continue until emergency responders take over. Waiting without helping or switching to an unrelated procedure could delay lifesaving care.
