Question

question 18 of 20
which situation always warrants calling 911 when someone is injured?

a. you are not sure whether the condition is serious.

b. you are alone with the injured person.

c. the hospital is more than 10 miles away.

d. a bone could be broken.

Explanation:

To determine when to call 911 for an injury, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If unsure about the seriousness of an injury, it's safest to call 911 as some injuries may appear minor but be severe (e.g., internal bleeding, concussions).
• Option B: Being alone with an injured person doesn't always require 911—you might be able to help or transport them if the injury is minor.
• Option C: Distance to the hospital doesn't dictate 911 use; minor injuries can be handled without emergency services even if the hospital is far.
• Option D: A possible broken bone isn't always an emergency (e.g., a simple fracture that can be stabilized and transported non - emergently).

Answer:

A. You are not sure whether the condition is serious.
