you are providing care to a 13 - year - old female who was struck by a car while crossing the street at a cross walk. the victim appears to have sustained an injury to her left leg and is sitting by the curb crying. based on this information, your first priority should be to:
get the license of the car that struck her.
perform a primary survey.
conduct a scene size - up.
provide reassurance to the victim.

Explanation:

In emergency care, the first step is to ensure the safety of the rescuer and the victim. Conducting a scene size - up helps assess potential hazards (e.g., oncoming traffic, unstable vehicle position) before proceeding with other actions like the primary survey or providing reassurance. Getting the license plate is not a priority in immediate victim care.

Answer:

conduct a scene size - up.
