70% to pass

Medical treatment aboard a vessel should not go beyond examination and emergency care without first consulting _______________.

A the approved company medical manual
B the designated medic aboard
C a medical doctor
D the shore based superintendent
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) a medical doctor. Medical treatment aboard a vessel should not go beyond examination and emergency care without first consulting a medical doctor. This is because the vessel's crew, even with basic medical training, do not have the same level of expertise and knowledge as a licensed medical professional. Consulting a doctor ensures that any non-emergency medical treatment is administered properly and safely, preventing further harm to the patient. The other options are incorrect because the company medical manual, designated medic, and shore-based superintendent do not have the same level of medical expertise as a doctor.
