NREMT Paramedic Trauma Exam Prep

Answer: C-Whether the patient is guilty of a crime should not be part of the documentation as it is not medically relevant.

Documentation is an important part of prehospital trauma care as it allows the medical team to understand how the patient’s condition has evolved and the mechanism of the injuries they are being presented with. Other important items to include are the total time since the injury occurred that has passed, all care rendered and responses to that care and pertinent negative findings.
