certified personnel, in a licensed and equipped ambulance, to an appropriate facility.

care within an EMS system is not referred to as central deployment.

C) EMS articles are generally opinion pieces.
D) Medical journals don't rely on advertising revenue as EMS magazines do.
CORRECT:: A
Elaboration: A) CORRECT. The research that is published in medical journals is peer reviewed.
This means that the research was submitted to a professional journal and reviewed by several of
the researcher's peers. This process helps to ensure that the research methods and results are

magazines do not present original, peer-reviewed research.
B) INCORRECT. EMS magazine articles may be well researched.
C) INCORRECT. An EMS magazine article may not be an opinion piece.
