During your treatment of a woman in cardiac arrest, you apply the AED, analyze her cardiac rhythm, and receive a "no shock advised" message. This indicates that:

  1. she has a pulse and does not need CPR

  2. she is not in ventricular fibrillation

  3. the AED detected patient motion

  4. the AED has detected asystole

The correct answer is: she has a pulse and does not need CPR

When an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) advises "no shock advised," it means that the device has analyzed the patient's cardiac rhythm and determined that a shock to the heart is not necessary. In this context, selecting the answer choice A is correct because if the AED is indicating "no shock advised," it implies that the patient has a pulse and is not in a shockable rhythm (like ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia). Therefore, administering CPR without the need for defibrillation would be appropriate in this scenario.
