EMR skills plus humidified oxygen, venturi mask, automated transport ventilators, nasal airways, pulse oximetry, auto BP, assisted medications, spinal immobilization, splinting, tourniquet, MAST/PASG, mechanical CPR, assisted complicated childbirth corresponds to which level?

• A. Paramedic
• B. EMR
• C. AEMT
• D. EMT

Answer: (D)

This item tests the scope of practice for an Emergency Medical Technician. The skills listed—humidified oxygen delivery with various devices, monitoring with pulse oximetry and automated blood pressure, airway adjuncts like nasal airways, assisting with medications, spinal immobilization, splinting, tourniquet use, MAST/PASG, mechanical CPR, and assisting with complicated childbirth—fit the typical EMT role on-scene. They show a broad but basic-level capability to assess and stabilize patients and manage common emergencies during transport. They go beyond what an EMR typically handles but do not require the more advanced procedures and pharmacology of the AEMT or the extensive capabilities of a paramedic, such as IV/IO access, advanced airway management, or broad in-field drug administration. So these skills align with an EMT.
