Question from NREMT Exam (not sure of answer)

[45ACP]

Just one that's bugging me from my NREMT exam.

You have a 76 year old Male who you are transporting with a CC of Chest pain and a PT hx of heart problem. He spontaneously becomes apneic and pulseless.

I don't remember the first two possible answers, but the two best were...

A ) Attach AED and analyze heart rhythm

B ) Attach AED and begin CPR


Which one is correct and why in your opinion?

I found it tough because ultimately you are going to do both at one point or another and I figured that answer A) might be considered "prolonging administration of ventilation's"

NREMT does not allow discussion of test questions. If you want to figure out the answer, look it up.

Just noticed the sticky. I apologize and It's really a general question anyway as I dont remember the wording.

I don't see a delete message option on here can a Mod please delete?
