You and Your EMT Partner Are Responding to a Medical

You and your EMT partner are responding to a medical aid call in the rural West County area.The dispatcher advises that the caller is reporting the patient as having a history of "plegia." Why would it be beneficial to have the dispatcher clarify a prefix for the word plegia?

A) Without a clarifying prefix, it is difficult for the EMTs to effectively prepare for the type of patient they may encounter.
B) Because a dysplegiac patient generally requires an EMT-Paramedic level of care, and it may change the level of response.
C) A patient with plegia is potentially contagious, and the EMTs need to know what precautions are required.
D) There is actually no need to clarify the word.
