1. You are lifeguarding at Schlitterbahn for the summer. A man that was tubing the lazy river has become unresponsive, is not breathing, and needs CPR. You begin compressions and a coworker has called 911 and has brought the AED. The man's chest is very wet and hairy. You should

B) continue with compressions and breathing because the AED pads won’t stick.

D) lay a towel on the man’s chest, put the AED pads onto the towel and hope that the AED picks up his heart rhythm and delivers a shock through the towel.
