Don’t attempt this quiz until you have read the chapter. It will help you to answer many of these correctly if use your book to go through the order in which you do automated external defibrillation. (Some of the photos show a step being done before a previous step should have been done and you need to identify what shows/does not show in the photo to make you think the step being done is out of order.)
Gloves are shown in one picture, but not others. We debated and decided that the person operating an AED would not necessarily always have gloves on, so “no gloves, or no personal protective equipment” is not an answer to a question that asks for something that is missing.
On the model we use at De Anza, there is no analyze button to push, the AED does it on its own. The green button is used to turn the AED on or off. The red/orange button that lights up when it needs to be pressed is the shock button. There is a yellow plug on the end of the electrode cable/chest pads that you plug into the upper left of the AED.
1) Is this step at the beginning or near the end of automated external defibrillation?
2) In which picture could the red (or orange) shock button light at the bottom of this defibrillator be blinking? (Right or left picture?)
3) What is wrong/missing and/or out of order in this picture?
4) What is wrong/missing and/or out of order in this picture? (No, the problem is not that the wires are tangled.)
5) What is wrong/missing and/or out of order in this picture?
6) What is wrong/missing and/or out of order in this picture?
7) What is wrong/missing and/or out of order in this picture?
8) What could the AED be saying now? (There is more than one correct answer but you only need to give one answer.)

11) Do not use a _____ _______ or radio transmitter within six feet of the victim.

14) Each minute that defibrillation is delayed reduces that chance of survival by ________ %
