Which category is used when there are no hazards and no life-threatening conditions apparent, and includes direct ground lift, extremity lift, direct carry method, and draw sheet method?

• A. Rapid Extrication
• B. Non-Urgent Moves
• C. Stair-Chair
• D. Backboard

Answer: (B)

When there are no hazards and no life-threatening conditions, the goal is to move the patient safely with simple, efficient techniques. This falls under Non-Urgent Moves, which includes direct ground lift, extremity lift, direct carry method, and the draw sheet method. These options are ideal for stable patients because they require minimal equipment, limit unnecessary movement, and allow a small, controlled team to get the patient where they need to go without delaying care. In contrast, rapid extrication is for hazardous scenes or urgent removal, the stair-chair is used for moving patients who can sit and need to navigate stairs or tight spaces, and backboards are primarily for spinal immobilization when a spine injury is suspected.
