I have my paramedic psychomotor testing tomorrow morning. I am unclear if IV's etc. can be done by my partner or do I have to perform them all in the oral boards?

Listen to the scenario carefully. For mine they said i was the medic on a Paramedic/EMT-B staffed ambulance with a BLS engine company, thus forcing me to state I perform all ALS procedures.

They will tell you if other paramedic tasks can be delegated of if only EMT tasks can be pawned off.

ie: You are the paramedic working on an emt/medic staffed ambulance, responding with you in a BLS fire engine, you may assume that all BLS interventions delegated will be performed correctly.

so in that scenario you have to perform all medic skills, and know what your EMT can do for you.
