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.
