Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The emergency provider should follow the triage protocol and assist with clearing all the victims who are able to walk out on their own or with assistance. Once all ambulatory victims have been cleared, they can focus on locating and rescuing the trapped victim, including the victim's mother. This approach ensures that resources are used efficiently and effectively in order to help as many people as possible. Option B is not recommended as it poses a risk to the emergency provider's safety without a clear plan or backup. Option C is not helpful as it does not provide any concrete action plan or reassurance to the victim. Option D is not safe for both the victim and the emergency provider as it could lead to further injuries.
