You are preparing to administer closed chest cardiac massage on a victim of electric shock. Which of the following actions is NOT a recommended procedure?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Giving cardiac massage without artificial respiration.
This is the correct answer because for an electric shock victim, it is crucial to provide both chest compressions (cardiac massage) and rescue breaths (artificial respiration) as part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Performing chest compressions alone, without the rescue breaths, would be an incomplete and ineffective procedure that goes against the recommended CPR guidelines for electric shock victims.
The other answer choices describe the proper steps for administering CPR, such as placing the victim on their back, exposing the chest, and positioning the hands correctly for chest compressions. However, omitting the artificial respiration component would not be a recommended procedure.
