Clair is on duty with her partner Victor and they are called to the scene of pedestrian-versus-motor-vehicle accident. Clair refuses to treat the hit-and-run victim because the victim is, in her words, “a bum.” What should Victor, her partner, inform her she is not meeting?
  1. Nothing, Clair can work on whom she wishes.
  2. She’s breaking her EMT Oath.
  3. Her legal duty to act.
  4. All of the above.
Explanation
Answer: C - Clair has a legal duty to act. An EMT has a duty to treat the ill and injured, regardless of personal bias, when on duty and dispatched to a scene or event. The failure to treat a patient to the best of one’s ability renders you liable if that patient suffers injury or dies.
