Which of the following is considered an acceptable reason to physically restrain a person who is being treated by EMS?
  1. Someone who has an altered level of consciousness thought to be due to a medical or traumatic event
  2. Someone who is acting out and thought to have been drinking alcohol
  3. A person who is possibly suffering a life-threatening event, but states that they do not want to go to the hospital
  4. Someone who is high on drugs whose mother called 911
  5. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: A - Physical restraint of a patient is sometimes utilized in people who have an altered level of consciousness, which is thought to be due to a medical and traumatic event. Using restraints should be done in police presence if at all possible and with the concurrence of medical control. Refusal to accept medical care or being under the influence of an intoxicating substance is not, on its own, an acceptable reason to restrain a person.
