Ahaving the proper equipment for the process
Bstarting the treatment quickly
Cadministering of oxygen
Dtreating for shock
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) starting the treatment quickly. The most important element in administering CPR is the timely initiation of the procedure. When someone experiences cardiac arrest, their brain and other vital organs are deprived of oxygen, and prompt action is crucial to increase the chances of survival. Delaying the start of CPR can significantly reduce the individual's chances of revival. The other answer choices, while important aspects of CPR, are not as critical as the immediate initiation of the process. Having the proper equipment and administering oxygen are supportive measures, and treating for shock, while necessary, is a secondary priority compared to restarting the heart and breathing.
