The next step would be to follow the AED prompts.

An AED or Automated External Defibrillator refers to a lightweight, small apparatus, which evaluates an individual's heart rhythm and can determine the irregular heart rhythms, like VF (ventricular fibrillation) or VT (ventricular tachycardia), also called Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

Automated external defibrillators can assist in saving many lives at the time of sudden cardiac arrest. However, even after training, memorizing the steps to use an AED in the right manner can be tough.

Answer:

Follow the AED prompts .

Explanation:

Automated external defibrillator (AED) is used in the case in which a person suffers from the Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). This step can increase the chance of survival of the patient.

As the woman is unresponsive, the next step in this case is to follow the aed prompts. These prompts include ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. The patient must be reduced from the water and the area must be covered if the patient has scar for the pacemaker.

Thus, the answer is to follow the AED prompts .

What is the environmental pressure of a giraffe
Yuri [45]
The answer to this question would be: increased food height

Giraffe becomes tall because its food height is increased. In this case, the environmental pressure on Giraffe would be the increased height of the food.
The taller giraffe has access to higher food. Then, the giraffe with the higher chance of survival in this scenario would be the giraffe with a taller height.
