What item will serve as “back-up” if on-line medical directions are not available?

Nearest doctor
Protocols
Standing orders
Protocols and standing orders

Explanation

Answer: D - Protocols and standing orders serve as “back-up” if on-line medical directions are not available. Dispatch is not a medically trained position so they will not be able to help. Protocols and standing orders must be used if on-line medical directions are not available. Do not wait for another team of healthcare providers. This would delay proper treatment.
