الإجابة: B. stop CPR and defibrillate
A collapsed patient needing CPR with VT on the monitor has pulseless VT, a shockable rhythm treated like VF: give an unsynchronized shock (defibrillation) as soon as possible, then resume CPR. Epinephrine and amiodarone come later in the ACLS cycle (amiodarone for refractory rhythm), and continuing 2 minutes of CPR before shocking delays the key intervention.

A
ليش غلط
The listed sequence is CPR started immediately, then defibrillation (unsynchronized shock) ASAP; the shock is the next step, not more CPR first.

B
ليش صح
Defibrillation (an unsynchronized shock) is indicated for VFib and pulseless VT; a collapsed patient in CPR with VT is treated this way.

C
ليش غلط
IV amiodarone is for stable VT, or as an antiarrhythmic if the rhythm is refractory after shocks; it is not the first step in a collapsed patient.

D

Epinephrine 1 mg every 3-5 min comes after defibrillation in the sequence (step 3, with CPR continuing).
