A victim has a weak pulse and is breathing every 20-30 seconds?

It is called agonal breaths. Since agonal breaths will not support life, assuming an adult, you would immediately begin CPR.

If the AED has completed the shock sequence, check the pulse and breathing for 10 seconds. If no pulse and breathing, resume CPR until the AED begins the analyze cycle again.
You are using an AED on adult victim and the AED says no shock indicated?
You then check for breathing & pulse for a maximum of 10 seconds; if no breathing & pulse immediately start CPR and continue CPR until AED re-analyzes.

When would you start chest compression's in an unresponsive victim?
That depends...if you happen upon an unresponsive victim, you need to check to see if they are breathing and if they have a pulse first. Look, listen, and feel for 10-15 seconds. If they are pulseless and apneic (not breathing) you should perform chest compressions and rescue breathing immediately, at a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths, @ 100 compressions/minute. If they do have a pulse, but are apneic, perform rescue breathing only, @ 1 breath every 5 seconds. If you are alone and happen upon an "un-witnessed" collapse and you don't know how long they've been down, do CPR for 2 minutes, and then try to go for help. If the collapse is "witnessed", call for help first, then begin CPR. Source: Emergency Medical Technician
What will you do to prevent performing CPR on victim that has only fainted?
Check to see if they have a pulse, or are breathing. If they have both, no CPR is needed. If they have a pulse but aren't breathing, you can perform rescue breathing only without chest compressions. If they do not have a pulse and aren't breathing, you perform rescue breathing and chest compressions.
What if victim is partially breathing?
If signs of life become visible you should check for a pulse. If the victim has no pulse, CPR should be continued. If the victim has a pulse, CPR should be ceased but you must continue to monitor the victim's vital signs.

If the victim is not breathing and has no pulse, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be started.
What do you do if the AED says no shock advised?
Keep the airway open, monitor breathing and pulse. Breathing rapidly is probably a result of the victim going into shock. The AED willreanalyze in about 2 minutes. When the condition exists that there is no breathing, give 2 breaths and check for a pulse. If there is a pulse, and no breathing give rescue breaths. No breathing, no pulse, give CPR.
