A paramedic was late in reregistering and now, according to the State EMS Agency, must function as an EMT until all of the reregistration requirements are satisfied. As an EMT, he is on the scene of a motor vehicle accident and taking care of a critically injured teenager. While waiting for a paramedic to arrive, he starts an IV, but does not hang the IV fluid that will be used to stabilize her by increasing her blood pressure. This is immediately done by a paramedic once he arrives. Which of the following is true?
A) The paramedic/EMT violated the scope of practice but cannot be held accountable since the patient was stabilized by his actions.
B) The paramedic/EMT did not violate the scope of practice since he is experienced with IV therapy.
C) The paramedic/EMT violated the scope of practice and can be held accountable even though the patient survived.
D) The paramedic/EMT did not violated the scope of practice since the patient was critically injured and required life-saving care.
