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.
