1. Apply preparatory and fundamental knowledge of the EMS system, safety/well-being of the EMT, medical/legal and ethical issues, anatomy, pathophysiology, medical terminlogy, lifespan development, principles of illness/injury prevention, and medication administration to the provision of emergency care.
2. Manage a patient’s airway to ensure patency, adequate mechanical ventilation and respiration for patients of all ages.
3. Analyze scene information and patient assessment findings (scene size up, primary and secondary assessment, patient history, and reassessment) to guide emergency management.
4. Apply fundamental knowledge to provide basic emergency care and transportation based on assessment findings for an acutely injured patient.
