You are called to scene where the patient has been the victim of a violent act. When should you enter the scene?
  1. Immediately, so emergency care can be initiated
  2. After law enforcement indicates it is safe to do so
  3. As soon as a victim or family member invites you in
  4. EMTs do not respond to calls involving violence
Explanation
Answer: B - Scene security is paramount, not only for the safety of the patient but for EMTs as well. If the scene is not secure you are putting yourself, coworkers, and the patient at risk. Therefore, when responding to a scene suspected to involve violence, make sure that the scene is under the control of law enforcement before you enter.
