Answer: both safe and effective.

Explanation:

In 1962, there was a drug in Europe and Canada that was meant to treat morning sickness in pregnant women. The drug instead caused birth defects in many people.

The Federal government of the US decided that it would be best to take action against that drug and others like it from harming the U.S. like it did those other countries.

This action came in the form of the Kefauver-Harris amendment to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act. According to this amendment, companies manufacturing drugs had to make sure that a drug was not only safe for consumption, but effective in treating what it is meant to treat as well.

What items other than the pads might be found with an AED
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pads are used for both children and adults. Pediatric pads are used for kids that are younger than eight years. Then there are standard pads, and they will be used on the kids only if pediatric ones aren't present at the scene. The adult or standard pads can't teach one another. Then we have a manual defibrillator, it is usually used on the new-borns. If there's no manual defibrillator, an AED should be used. Some of the AEDs can be switched on so they can deliver a pediatric shock. If we have one at the scene, we should switch it on if we are going to use it on the children younger than age of eight.
