Which level’s scope includes CPR, AED, Oral airways, airway obstruction, manual airway techniques, BVM ventilation, oxygen therapy, airway suctioning, manual BP, auto injector, bleeding control, and assisted childbirth?

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

Answer: (A)

This item tests the Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) scope, which centers on immediate stabilization and basic life support in the field. The actions listed fit this level because they cover core life-saving steps you can take right away to keep a patient breathing and circulating until more advanced care arrives. CPR and the use of a defibrillator (AED) are foundational for cardiac arrest. Maintaining a clear airway and providing ventilation with oral airways, other manual airway techniques, a bag-valve-mask, and suctioning keeps oxygen moving and prevents airway collapse. Oxygen therapy supports adequate oxygenation, while managing airway obstruction prevents suffocation. Measuring manual blood pressure and controlling bleeding address key aspects of circulation and overall stabilization. Assisting with childbirth and recognizing or supporting the use of an epinephrine auto-injector reflect the EMR role of initiating care and supporting patients in urgent, time-critical situations. Higher levels—EMT, AEMT, and Paramedic—expand into advanced airway management, IV access, broader pharmacology, and more invasive procedures, which go beyond EMR scope.
