What are the three documents that most directly outline your duties and responsibilities as an EMT-Paramedic?
  1. Constitution, State Statute and Job Description
  2. State EMS Act, Protocols, Standard Operating Procedures
  3. Federal Sanctioning Act, Protocols, whatever the Supervisor says to do
  4. Ethics Act, Standard Operating Procedures, EMT-Paramedic Oath
Explanation
Answer: B- Your state’s EMS Act, the protocols describing standard orders which govern your local system and your service’s Standard Operating Procedures, or Policies outline your duties as an EMT. Each state has drafted legislation describing the scope of practice and levels of EMT sanctioned to practice in that state. Protocols for each level of EMT are based on that scope and authorized by your medical director, and your Operations Team drafts SOPs, or Policies, governing conduct, equipment and other functional aspects of practicing as an EMT.
