The EMS System correct answers The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system is a network
of community resources and medical personnel with the purpose of providing emergency care to
victims of injury or sudden illness.
Early Recognition and Activation correct answers The survival and recovery of critically injured
or ill victims depends on:
- Early recognition of the emergency.
- Early activation of the EMS system.
- Care being provided until more advanced medical personnel take over.
Perform Roles Promptly and Correctly correct answers The EMS system depends on all persons
involved performing their roles promptly and correctly, which, in turn, increases the chances for
survival and recovery.
Keep Training Current correct answers Professional rescuers must keep their training current and
stay abreast of new issues and developments in emergency care.
Duty to Act correct answers While on the job, you have a legal responsibility to act in an
emergency. Failure to adhere to this duty could result in legal action.
Standard of Care correct answers You are expected to meet a minimum standard of care, which
may be established in part by your training program and in part by state or local authorities. This
standard requires you to:
- Communicate proper information and warnings to help prevent injuries.
- Recognize someone in need of care.
- Attempt to rescue those needing assistance.
- Provide emergency care according to your level of training.
Negligence correct answers When a person is injured or suffers additional harm because
professional rescuers failed to follow the standard of care or failed to act at all, the professional
rescuers may be considered negligent. Negligence includes:
- Failing to control or stop any behaviors that could result in further harm or injury.
- Failing to provide care.
- Providing inappropriate care.
- Providing care beyond the scope of practice or level of training.
Confidentiality correct answers While making a rescue or providing care, you may learn
something about the injured or ill person, such as information about medical conditions, physical
problems and medications taken. Laws protect this person's right to privacy. The law requires
that you keep information learned about the injured or ill person confidential.
, Documentation correct answers Properly documenting injuries and incidents is very important. If
legal action occurs later, your records can provide legal documentation of what was seen, heard
and done at the scene. Complete the required forms as soon as possible after the incident,
preferably immediately after the incident has wrapped up so details are not forgotten.
When completing a report, state the facts of the incident without including your opinion. Once
the report is complete, sign and date it and have all responders read the report, then sign and date
as well.
Consent and Refusal of Care correct answers An injured or ill person must give permission
before responders can provide first aid and emergency care. To obtain consent:
- State your name.
- State your level of training.
- Ask if you may help.
- Explain that you would like to assess them to find out what you think may be wrong or what
you can do to help.
- Explain what you plan to do.
Someone who is unresponsive, confused or seriously injured or ill (such as in a nonfatal
drowning) may not be able to grant consent. In these cases, the law assumes the victim would
give consent if they were able to do so. This is called implied consent. Implied consent also
applies to a minor who needs emergency medical assistance and whose parent or guardian is not
present.
Some injured or ill people may refuse care, even if they desperately need it. Parents also refuse
care for their children. Even though someone may be seriously injured, their wishes must be
honored.
Abandonment correct answers Once care is initiated, it must be continued until emergency
medical services (EMS) personnel or someone with equal or greater training arrives and takes
over. You can be held legally responsible for abandoning a person who requires ongoing care if
you leave the scene or stop providing care.
Blood-borne Pathogens correct answers - Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) is
important to your safety.
- Facility management should abide by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
requirements regarding job-related exposure to blood-borne pathogens, which are designed to
protect you from disease transmission.
- Participating in annual blood-borne pathogens training to learn and to review the procedures
will help protect you from exposure at your worksite.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) correct answers PPE appropriate for your job duties should
be available at your workplace and should be identified in the exposure control plan. PPE
includes all specialized clothing, equipment and supplies that prevent direct contact with infected
materials. These include, but are not limited to, breathing barriers, nitrile latex-free disposable
(single-use) gloves, gowns, masks, shields and protective eyewear.
Good Hand Hygiene correct answers Hand washing is the most effective measure to prevent the
spread of infection. Wash your hands thoroughly after any direct or indirect contact with body
