NREMT EMR First Responder

Answer: B - All of the choices above list techniques that require the responder to support the full weight of the patient except the extremity carry, which is more frequently referred to as the extremity lift. The extremity lift involves two responders. One responder places his/her arms under the patient’s armpits and grasps each of the patient’s wrists. The other responder is positioned at the feet and lifts the patient from behind the knees. The extremity carry should not be used if the patient may be suffering from fractures.
