4.)Await analysis of rhythm.

5.)Turn on the AED machine.

6.)Press the shock button. - ✔✔The procedure for use of an AED is

consistent, whether in a medical setting or a public environment.

First, turn on the AED and follow the visual and / or audio prompts.

Second, the client is then placed supine and the skin of the chest is

exposed (do not expose more than necessary).

Next, the electrode pads are then placed to mid-chest and left lateral chest,

as is pictured on the AED machine.

Then, once the pads are attached, the nurse would wait for the machine to

analyze the client's rhythm.

IF a shock is advised by the machine, the nurse will then shout "clear",

being certain that no one is touching the client in any manner.

The final action is to press the shock button when the AED advises to do

so.

A client arrives at the emergency department (ED) in obvious emotional
