Question 1658 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) avoid subjecting the victim to any unnecessary disturbance. When removing a victim from a life-threatening situation, the priority is to minimize any further injury or disturbance to the victim. Unnecessary movement or handling can exacerbate injuries, especially in cases of spinal cord or other serious trauma. The best practice is to stabilize the victim as much as possible and carefully transport them to a safer location where a full assessment and treatment can be conducted. Options A, C, and D involve more handling or movement of the victim, which goes against the principle of avoiding unnecessary disturbance.
