Clair refuses to supply aid to a hit-and-run victim because the victim is in her words, “a bum.” What should Victor, her partner, inform her of?
  1. Nothing. Clair can work on whomever she wishes
  2. That her behavior is unbecoming of an Advanced EMT
  3. That she is violating the Fair Treatment Act
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer - C - An Advanced EMT who refuses to supply aid to a patient based on personal opinion is violating the Fair Treatment Act. Regardless of one’s impression of a patient as an individual or as a member of society, they cannot allow their prejudices or opinions to influence patient care. The failure to treat a patient to the best of one’s ability can make you liable if that patient dies.
