Before shocking, clear the scene by:

  • Stating "Clear" or "Everybody clear!"
  • Observing that no one is touching the victim or clothing

These steps ensure safety before administering a shock. Checking for a patient's pulse and giving breaths are not steps to take before shocking in a cardiac arrest scenario.
