Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Studies have shown that the survival rates are highest when immediate bystander CPR is pro-vided and defibrillation occurs within 5 min after sudden cardiac arrest.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
If the automatic external defibrillator detects ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, it advises the rescuer through voice and visual prompts that a shock be delivered.
