️
The BLS Assessment is a systematic approach to BLS for trained healthcare
providers. This approach stresses:
a) basic airway management
b) early cpr and defibrillation
c) defibrillation - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️b
while performing the BLS assessment, you initiate high-quality CPR and assist
ventilation with a bag-mask device
the AED does not recommend a shock
