Final answer:
AEDs without pediatric attenuating devices should not be used, even if they are the only option available.
Step-by-step explanation:
AEDs (automated external defibrillators) without pediatric attenuating devices should not be used, even if they are the only option available. This statement is TRUE. Pediatric attenuating devices are necessary to deliver an appropriate shock voltage for children and infants. Using a standard AED without these devices could deliver a shock that is too strong for a child's body to handle, potentially causing harm instead of saving a life.
