All of the following are reasons that justify an emergency move except one. Which of the following is not justification for using an emergency move?
  1. The patient or rescuer is in immediate danger
  2. Life-saving care cannot be administered due to patient’s position
  3. You cannot access other patients who are in need of life-saving care
  4. The patient’s position is aggravating an injury
Explanation
Answer - D - All of the reasons above can justify an emergency move except the patient’s position aggravating an injury. Ideally you will be able to position the patient in a way that avoids aggravating the patient’s injuries. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to assess all of a patient’s injuries. Moving a patient with an obvious injury may cause more severe damage to another injury you have not detected. Choice D is considered justification for making a nonemergency move of a patient. The three choices are clearly justification for moving a patient.
