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.

How can poor posture result in back pain?
disa [49]

Answer:

If the person is young, bad posture can result in tight muscles which can cause pain within hours and OVER TIME (like months or YEARS) it could cause your spinal column to hyperextend and cause disk herniations which can be painful. So if you can only pick one answer, I would pick A, Poor posture can result in tight muscles. Think about when you get a sore neck from texting for too long. It's from straining your neck muscles to support the weight of you head in an unnatural (hunched over) position, AKA poor posture. But if you can pick more than one answer than I would go for A and B, because older people develop chronic pain and spinal arthritis (osteoarthritis) from everyday wear and tear on the spine from poor posture.

Explanation: Some tests let you choose more than one answer, I'm giving you the first answer to go for (Answer A) and a second one, (Answer B) if the test is saying "choose all correct answers."

enyata [817]

Answer:

When the body is cold, the blood inside the body travels via different route to rise the temperature of the body so that it fells hot and stable.

During the time of exercise, the blood distribution changes and hypothalamus  signals for reduced vasometer stimulates the vessels present in skin.

Blood moves through the capillary beds and radiates heat from the body to make it feel cool.
