  1. Allowing the EMT-P that started speaking first to continue until the end of the transmission.
  2. Attempting to speak at the same time as the other EMT-P.
  3. Interrupt if you have a more serious patient.
  4. None of the above.
Explanation
Answer: A - The proper etiquette when communicating over the radio with the hospital is to allow the EMT-P that started telemetry first to continue until the end of their transmission. It is important not to interrupt another crew while they are communicating with the hospital, as they must also notify of their patient status as well. The criticality of the patient does not play a role in radio etiquette.
