Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most appropriate action for the EMT to take when managing a patient with a behavioral emergency is to remain calm and reassure the patient. Establishing control of the situation by force can escalate the situation, and performing a head-to-toe exam and transport without delay may not be possible or safe until the patient is calmed down. Checking the patient's insurance coverage is not a priority during the acute phase of a behavioral emergency.
