Answer: Electricity can travel through AED

Explanation: AED is Automated external defibrillator.

AED is used in patients that have cardiac arrest,it is used to re-establish or return back the heart rhythm of a patients whose heart stopped beating due to an illness or accident,the AED does so but analysing the heart rhythm of the victim and re-establishing an adequate heart rythym when shocked.

Using an AED is delicate,though it can be used in every weather condition, but the victim should be moved to a dry area because water is a good conductor of electricity,this is for the safety of both the victim of cardiac arrest and the Healthcare provider,when the pads are placed appropriately in the patient/victim,the AED analyzes the rhythm of the patient, if it is a shockable rhythm,the health care provider slightly moves away from the patient and press the shock button to deliver the shock.moving away of the healthcare provider is to avoid electrocution.

How is social helth mintained?
frozen [14]

Answer:

i recommend going out to socialize with others often. try to be friendly and approachable. also, i suggest you stay well groomed (take shower often, brush teeth, etc) before you stink up the others or scare them off with your smell.

do not lock yourself in your house, away from all other human beings for almost a year. there's a possibility you will lose some communication and act crazed and blasty when you finally come into contact with others. speaking from experience.
