Question 84Safety & Environmental - QMED

The correct answer is D) Shut off power or remove the wire from the victim. This is the correct first action because it is essential to remove the victim from the electrical hazard before attempting any other first aid. Trying to perform artificial respiration or cardiac massage while the victim is still in contact with the electrical source could result in the rescuer also being shocked or electrocuted. Removing the power source or the wire from the victim is the necessary first step to ensure the safety of both the victim and the rescuer, as per standard first aid protocols. The other options, while potentially appropriate later in the sequence of first aid, are incorrect as the initial response, as they do not address the immediate electrical hazard.
