Final answer:
If chest hair is preventing AED pads from sticking, quickly shave the area using the razor included in the AED kit to ensure proper adhesion and functionality of the AED.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the victim has hair on the chest that may prevent the automated external defibrillator (AED) pads from sticking, you should quickly shave the area where the AED pads will be placed. Many AED kits include a razor for this specific purpose. It is important to do this quickly and efficiently to ensure that the pads can adhere properly and that the AED can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver a shock.
