The term “on-line medical control” refers to what?
  1. Communication with a base hospital physician
  2. Communication between you and your partner
  3. Communication between doctors and nurses at a base hospital
  4. Communication between you and the dispatcher
Explanation
Answer: A - On-line medical control refers to communication between EMTs and a base hospital physician and usually takes place over the radio. While cell phones may be used to call hospitals when radio coverage is down, most services record their radio contact and mandate on-line control be accessed by radio whenever available so that the content of any orders and discussion leading to them can be referenced later should questions arise.
