Question

1. you have requested an air medical transport for a patient who was injured on a divided highway. which of these describes the proper method for handling this situation?

stop traffic in both directions.

have them land in the median.

have the patient within 100 feet of the landing zone.

if at night, mark the landing zone with lights shining up.

Explanation:

For air medical transport on a divided highway, the median (the area between the two directions of traffic) is a safe and practical landing zone as it avoids stopping all traffic (which is inefficient and causes backups) and aligns with safety protocols. Stopping traffic in both directions is not feasible. Having the patient within 100 feet isn't a standard guideline here, and marking with lights shining up at night isn't the correct method (lights should be placed to mark the zone clearly, not shining up). So "Have them land in the median" is correct.

Answer:

B. Have them land in the median (assuming the options are labeled as such, with this option being the correct one for the described scenario)
