Question

you are caring for a person involved in a crash when that person suddenly becomes uncooperative and threatens to hurt you. what should you do?
○ calm the person using your voice and a gentle touch.
○ order the person to cooperate until emergency medical services (ems) personnel arrive.
○ restrain the person until ems personnel arrive.
○ withdraw and wait for ems personnel to arrive.

Explanation:

In a situation where a crash victim becomes uncooperative and threatens harm, one's safety is a priority. Calming with touch or ordering may escalate the situation, and restraining is not advisable for untrained individuals. Withdrawing to a safe distance and waiting for EMS (who are trained to handle such situations) is the correct approach to ensure personal safety and let professionals take over.

Answer:

D. Withdraw and wait for EMS personnel to arrive.
