Unit 8: Emergency Preparedness — Final exam

Question 2 • Sports Medicine 1a

Northwest High School is writing their emergency action plan for their athletic healthcare team. What is one of the four main functions they need to include in their plan?

Answer
A
training of all athletic personnel in first aid
B
avoidance of panic through deep breathing
C
performing aseptic techniques prior to care
D
activation of local emergency medical services

Explanation

An emergency action plan should identify the key steps for responding to an emergency, including how to activate emergency medical services. Calling local EMS ensures that advanced medical help is on the way when needed. The correct choice is activation of local emergency medical services; first-aid training and aseptic techniques are useful practices but are not one of the four main functions asked for.
