Question: 1 / 400

An AED indicates that "no shock is advised." Which of the following is most appropriate to do next?

Monitor the victim's airway and breathing

Perform CPR for about 2 minutes

After an AED indicates "no shock is advised," the most appropriate next step is to perform CPR for about 2 minutes. This is because even though a shock is not advised at that moment, the victim may still need chest compressions to maintain blood circulation and oxygenation until emergency medical services arrive. CPR helps sustain the vital functions of the body, especially the circulation of oxygenated blood. It is crucial to continue providing care to the victim by performing CPR until further instructions are provided or the victim shows signs of recovery.
