You reach a crash victim who may have a neck or spinal injury. What must you not do while waiting for help?
-
A.
Move them from where they are lying Correct
-
B.
Cover them with a blanket to hold body heat
-
C.
Call 911 to request emergency medical help
-
D.
Ask them where they feel pain
The answer is "Move them from where they are lying"
The manual tells you not to move an injured person who may have a neck or spinal injury. Drivers who cross-apply the shock-treatment step of covering with a blanket to this spinal-injury case pick B, treating a general first-aid habit as the answer to a specific prohibition against moving the victim.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Cover them with a blanket to hold body heat
Covering an injured person is on the manual's approved shock-treatment list. Carries the shock-care habit of covering with a blanket into a spinal-injury question, treating a listed first-aid step as the forbidden one.
C. Call 911 to request emergency medical help
Calling for help is one of the first duties the manual asks of anyone at a crash. Second-guesses calling 911, imagining that summoning responders might somehow disturb a spinal injury, when the prohibition covers only physical movement by the bystander.
D. Ask them where they feel pain
Talking with an injured person to gather information does not put them at risk; the manual restricts physical handling, not questioning. Reads the prohibition as blanket caution against any interaction, so verbal questions get lumped in with the movement the manual actually forbids.
