Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
While there is limited information that people in extended periods of cardiac arrest may benefit from CPR before defibrillation, overwhelming information indicates that defibrillating very early in a "fresh" arrest situation will provide the best opportunity for correcting the most common cause of cardiac arrest—ventricular fibrillation.
