You are an EMT-Intermediate on a call with four other EMTs; which of you cannot give an IV?
  1. EMT-Intermediate
  2. Paramedic
  3. EMT-Basic
  4. All can give IVs.
Explanation
Answer - C - EMT-Basics cannot give an IV. Intravenous access 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.
