Question 25 • Principles of Fire and Rescue

An ambulance arrived at an emergency scene. An EMT splinted an ankle sprain and then the unit took the patient to the nearest medical facility. The ambulance had to be an ALS or medic unit because it had the supplies to wrap sprains.

Answer
A
False
B
True

Explanation

The statement is false. Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance crews can provide care such as splinting an ankle sprain and transporting the patient to a medical facility. Having supplies to wrap or splint an injury does not mean the ambulance must be an ALS or medic unit.
