As a Quality Assurance (QA) Manager at a local industrial plant, Mr. Smith, an EMR, identified that over the course of 2 years, there were 28 “calls” in building “A” with a chief complaint of back pain after falling. What can Mr. Smith deduce based on his QA review?
  1. Workers traveling through building “A” must have a history of back problems as they are often complaining of back pain
  2. The employees who are in building “A” must be overweight, as they all have back pain
  3. A chiropractor should be on staff to treat people back pain
  4. There may be a fall hazard in building “A” causing people to fall and injure their back
Explanation
Answer: D - The collection and analysis of information by EMS personnel can result in the identification of hazards that could otherwise go unnoticed. On a smaller scale, if an elderly person has multiple EMS responses due to falling, a review of their home to look for fall hazards may be lifesaving.
