You have been sent to help a person who is said to be slouched over in a car on the side of the road. How should you approach the car?
  1. Use the loud speaker to gain the patients attention
  2. Approach the vehicle on the driver’s side
  3. Approach the vehicle on the passenger’s side
  4. Do not approach the vehicle until the cops arrive
Explanation
Answer - C - If you are sent to check on an individual slouched over in a car, approach from the passenger’s side and use the one-person approach. The driver should remain in the ambulance. Do not walk between the ambulance and the vehicle because then you are back-lit and make an easy target.
