Explicación
## Step 1This problem is a multiple-choice question that tests your understanding of the appropriate response when encountering a 62-year-old patient who is unresponsive, apneic (not breathing), and pulseless (no detectable heartbeat). The options provided are:A. Perform CPR and transport the patient immediately.B. Notify dispatch and request a paramedic ambulance.C. Ask the family if the patient has a terminal disease.D. Start CPR and attach the AED as soon as possible.## Step 2Option A suggests performing CPR and transporting the patient immediately. While CPR is a critical intervention for a patient who is not breathing and has no pulse, the immediate transportation of the patient may not be necessary if immediate life-saving measures can be performed on-site.## Step 3Option B suggests notifying dispatch and requesting a paramedic ambulance. While this is a good step, it does not address the immediate need for life-saving measures.## Step 4Option C suggests asking the family if the patient has a terminal disease. This is not an appropriate response in this situation as it does not address the immediate need for life-saving measures.## Step 5Option D suggests starting CPR and attaching the AED as soon as possible. This is the most appropriate response as it addresses the immediate need for life-saving measures.
