Ensure that there is head tilt/jaw thrust
- C.

Correct Answer
D. Make sure no one, including you, is touching the personExplanation
Before the AED analyzes the rhythm, it is important to make sure that no one, including yourself, is touching the person.

By ensuring that no one is touching the person, the AED can provide a more accurate assessment of the person's condition and deliver the appropriate treatment if necessary.Rate this question:
