Another EMT tells you that he had a call the previous shift in which he thinks a 5-year-old boy may be the victim of abuse since he had bruises on both upper legs. However, he did not communicate this to anyone nor transport the patient. Your best response would be:
A) "If you do not take steps to report this, you can be punished in a court of law."
B) "Let's see if we can go back to the house to make a better assessment of the situation."
C) "This sounds more like neglect and not physical abuse, as such, there is not much to do at this point."
D) "Bruises in this area are very typical for an active 5-year-old making abuse not likely."
