The risk of an electrical shock to the rescuer. Speaking as a lifeguard, the pool decks are typically wet, and if the AED's shock travels through the water on the pool deck, it can pose a threat to the rescuer.

Answer:

Because it avoids the risk of electric shock.

Explanation:

AED is the acronym used to refer to an automated external defibrillator, which is equipment that allows the application of an electric current to a patient's heart. And it aims to prevent your death from cardiac arrest. The External Automated Defibrillator (AED), a device used in this procedure, is also indicated to treat arrhythmias, atrial or ventricular fibrillation and tachycardia.

As the AED works by applying a lightning strike, it is important that the victim is transported to a dry place (and has a dry body) before the AED is used. This is because, as water is a conductor of electricity, its presence in the use of AED may increase the risk of electric shock to the victim and the rescuer.

Este tipo de liderazgo carece de imaginación y se basa en reglas,
Elina [12.6K]

El tipo de liderazgo que carece de imaginación y se basa en reglas arbitrariamente establecidas se conoce como liderazgo autocrático o autoritario. Este tipo de liderazgo generalmente no es eficiente.

El liderazgo es una práctica en la cual uno o más individuos ejercen una influencia sobre en un determinado grupo de personas con el fin de alcanzar metas preestablecidas.

Los tipos de liderazgo más comúnmente utilizados en las empresas y/o organizaciones incluyen el liderazgo democrático, autocrático, estratégico, transformacional, transaccional, y burocrático.

El liderazgo autocrático o de tipo autoritario se caracteriza porque el líder toma todas (o casi todas) las decisiones, con lo cual este tipo de liderazgo presenta muy poca participación de los miembros del grupo.

Está demostrado que es el liderazgo autocrático no es eficiente, ya que los miembros del grupo rinden por debajo de la media de su potencial bajo este tipo de liderazgo de corte autoritario.

El liderazgo debería idealmente ser una práctica fluida ya que esto ayuda al desarrollo armónico de las potencialidades de cada uno de los miembros del grupo.
