When preparing a crash cart, which of the following is MOST essential to be included and readily accessible for immediate use during a cardiac emergency?
Non-latex gloves
Stethoscope
Antiseptic wipes
Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is most essential to be included in a crash cart for immediate use during a cardiac emergency, as it is crucial for delivering an electrical shock to restore a normal heart rhythm in case of cardiac arrest. While non-latex gloves are important for maintaining universal precautions, their availability is second to the emergency needs of a cardiac arrest event. Moreover, a stethoscope, although valuable in assessing and monitoring patients, is not the primary emergency resuscitation equipment. Likewise, antiseptic wipes are necessary for maintaining cleanliness but are not as critical as the AED for emergency response to a cardiac event.
