Question
(2.2.c) checking the person: quiz
when would you not want to transport a victim yourself to an emergency - care facility?
○ when someone is available to help you with the victim.
○ when the victim can drive himself or herself to the facility.
○ when you have your first aid kit handy and the injuries are not severe.
○ when the victim has or may develop a life - threatening condition.
When a victim has or may develop a life - threatening condition, professional emergency medical services (like an ambulance) are better equipped. They have trained personnel, medical equipment (e.g., defibrillators, oxygen supplies), and can provide advanced life - support measures during transport. Self - transport may delay proper care or not be able to handle critical situations.
When someone is available to help, it may not be a reason to not transport. If the victim can drive (but it's still often better to have medical transport for assessment), but a life - threatening condition is more critical. Having a first - aid kit and non - severe injuries might mean waiting for proper transport is better than self - transport in some cases, but the life - threatening condition is the most crucial factor.
