This is probably a good indication your instructor wants you to read the book...
 
1. Carry my monitor.
2. Buy my coffee.
3. Make me look good in front of the MD.
4. Wash the truck.
5. Clean the stretcher.


/i keed. i keed.


Is this a homework assignment?
 
From the AAOS Emergency Care and Transport of the Sick and Injured, Tenth Edition, table 1-6, they are:
  • Keep vehicles and equipment ready for an emergency
  • Ensure the safety of yourself, your partner, the patient, and bystanders.
  • Emergency vehicle operation.
  • Be an on-scene leader.
  • Perform an evaluation of the scene.
  • Call for additional resources as needed.
  • Gain patient access.
  • Perform a patient assessment.
  • Give emergency medical care to the patient while awaiting the arrival of additional medical resources.
  • Only move patients when absolutely necessary to preserve life.
  • Give emotional support to the patient, the patient's family, and other responders.
  • Maintain continuity of care by working with other medical professionals.
  • Resolve emergency incidents.
  • Uphold medical and legal standards.
  • Ensure and protect patient privacy.
  • Give administrative support.
  • Constantly continue your professional development.
  • Cultivate and sustain community relations.
  • Give back to the profession.

Is that what you were looking for?

Edited to add:

But yes, I would suggest reading the text book. They didn't give you that big book to try to build upper body strength ;).

Seriously Critter?

We do no student any favors by handing answers on a silver platter, we do right by them when we encourage critical thinking skills and self reliance/independence.

They have the tools at their disposal and they need to use them. Posting on a forum is not a tool to use for these types of questions.

Had the student stated he has searched his book and was considering xyz but wanted clarification or affirmation he/she is on the right track, then we steer them to definitive answers by walking them through a path of reason. This approach assures their retention of the knowledge and leads to a better educated provider (we hope) eventually.

Exactly. Welcome to the forum, but stop doing other people's homework for them. It's pretty much an unwritten policy on this forum.
 
As someone who has been a tutor in many classes for many years, sometimes you need to show them where to find the answers so they can learn to find them on their own.

This is only his first question. Now if he had made habit of asking us questions like that, that would be another issue.

Advice noted. I'll wait before jumping in next time.

how is he going to learn where to find the information when it is spoon fed to him?
 
Forgive me, I was only trying to help another student. I thought that by also giving where the answer came from, it would encourage him to look it up and check there for answers to future questions. I didn't mean to overstep any unwritten boundaries (or if they were written, I apologize for not noticing them, and would appreciate someone pointing me in their direction.)

I understand where you're coming from, but the fact that they came here to ask for the answer to such a easily found question shows that they don't care much about the content. So I imagine this answer will go directly onto their homework, and they'll forget that that chapter even exists. At least that's what I'm seeing.

To be fair, it's a bit of a BS question. A BS question that should be extremely easy to answer if he decided to interpret the squiggly lines (a process we call "reading") printed inside the book, but a BS question to begin with.

No argument here, however, the key part of your statement is that it requires reading...had the OP done his required reading, perhaps this question would not have been posted.
 
I like this question. 5 responsibilities of an EMT:

wash the truck
carry the bag
go back for the clipboard
carry the patient out with fire while I "get the truck ready"
restock at the end of shift

Oh, wait. Those are delegated responsibilities, aren't they?
