Final answer:

After the AED is read, you should deliver the shock if advised, ensure everyone is clear, and then begin CPR.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the AED is read, whether shockable or not, there are several steps you should take. First, if the AED advises a shock, make sure everyone is clear of the person so that no one is accidentally shocked. Next, deliver the shock by pressing the shock button as directed by the AED. After delivering the shock, immediately begin CPR by performing chest compressions and rescue breaths.
