Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the National EMS Scope of Practice Model, an EMR is the lowest level of EMS provider and can only provide basic care such as CPR, bleeding control, and basic airway management. To work for an ambulance service, an EMR would need to become an EMT, which is the next level of EMS provider and can provide additional skills such as basic medication administration and more advanced airway management techniques. Therefore, the best choice is D, as the EMR would need to become an EMT first before being able to work for the ambulance service. The other answer choices are incorrect, as they do not relate to the National EMS Scope of Practice Model or the EMR's level of training.
