You are an EMT-Basic on a call with four other EMTs. Who cannot initiate an IV?
  1. EMT-Intermediate
  2. Paramedic
  3. EMT-Basic
  4. All can give IVs.
Explanation
Answer: C - EMT-Basics cannot initiate intravenous access, as it is a skill taught to EMT-Intermediates and not EMT-Basics. EMT-Basics under the 1994 U.S. Department of Transportation curriculum can assist with the administration of epinephrine and anaphylaxis. The administration of oxygen and insertion of a nasopharyngeal airway have been standard practices for EMT-Basics for several years.
