You are doing CPR on a male patient who is unresponsive, not breathing, and pulseless. Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) were on scene first and applied the AED, which did not deliver a shock to the patient. The patient's wife is crying and asks how her husband is doing. Your response would be:
 
  A) I have to be honest, he is probably dead, but we are going to take him to the hospital so the doctor can examine him and make sure.
  B) Why don't we wait until we get to the hospital to talk about your husband's condition?
  C) Right now he is not breathing and his heart is not beating, but we are doing everything we possibly can for him.
  D) I am not a doctor, but if we get him to the hospital very quickly, I am sure he will be just fine.
