Question 81Safety & Environmental - QMED

The correct answer is A) avoid subjecting the victim to any unnecessary disturbance during movement. When dealing with a life-threatening situation, the priority is to quickly remove the victim from danger while minimizing further injury. Unnecessary movement or disturbance of the victim can potentially worsen their condition, so the person providing first aid must be cautious and gentle during the removal process. The other options are incorrect because: B) pulling the victim by the feet is an unsafe and improper technique, C) placing the victim on a stretcher should only be done if it can be done safely and quickly, and D) the victim's injuries should be rapidly assessed, but their removal from the dangerous situation takes precedence.
