A 5-year-old male was found pulseless and apneic, submerged in very cold water. CPR has been in progress for 20 minutes. The Emergency Medical Responder recognizes that:
A) CPR should continue, but only for another 10 minutes, as patients never survive after 30 minutes of CPR.
B) CPR should continue, as patients submerged in cold water often have a good chance of being resuscitated.
C) CPR should be stopped, as this patient has been without oxygen for too long.
D) CPR should be stopped so that the family can start the grieving process.
