Why should EMTs wait to enter a scene with a patient who is the victim of violence until it is under the control of law enforcement?

The perpetrator may still be on the premises
Bystanders may interfere with patient care
Family members may interfere with patient care
All of the above

Explanation

Answer: D - Having a scene secure means that the EMTs are able to focus entirely on patient care without interference, or unnecessary safety concerns. Even well-meaning family members may become obstructive to patient care in stressful or critical situations.
