The EMT-P's scope of practice is determined by which of the following?
  1. The EMT-P's own skill level.
  2. National EMS Educational Standards.
  3. National EMS Act of 1999.
  4. Federal Medical Practice Act.
Explanation
Answer: B - The EMT-P's scope of practice is defined by the National EMS Scope of Practice Model, by the National EMS Educational Standards, and by the state laws, regulations, and local policies. A national EMS act does not exist. Just because an EMT-P has the knowledge to perform certain skills does not permit the EMT-P to utilize the skills on a patient.
