emt-32-3Answers & reasoning
1. Follow authorized training and local protocol · Choice C
Online exposure is not evidence of authorized competence. Competence, authorization, and protocol define the intervention boundary. The best match is Follow authorized training and local protocol. The alternatives describe different findings, information needs, or stages; the specific details in this case determine the choice.
emt-34-12. Address the patient directly and include supportive caregivers appropriately · Choice B
Direct questions to the patient while using appropriate support. The patient remains the focus even when another person assists.

The alternatives describe different findings, information needs, or stages; the specific details in this case determine the choice.
emt-05-14. A normal single finding does not complete the primary survey · Choice C

The best match is A normal single finding does not complete the primary survey. The alternatives describe different findings, information needs, or stages; the specific details in this case determine the choice.
emt-28-35. Use measured values with units and time · Choice A
The measured value can be interpreted in a temporal and unit context. Numeric findings require units and timing for interpretation. The best match is Use measured values with units and time. The alternatives describe different findings, information needs, or stages; the specific details in this case determine the choice.
emt-48-36. Ability to protect the airway · Choice A
