Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

If following the principles of reverse triage, emergency personnel should assist with clearing all victims who are ambulatory first and then locate the trapped victim. The emergency provider should not enter the plane to locate the trapped victim first. The emergency provider should not tell the son that his mother will be fine because there is no way of knowing the extent of her injuries. The emergency provider should not tell the son to go back inside the wreckage and get his mother on her feet.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

The warm zone, or control zone, is adjacent to the hot zone. This is where the decontamination of victims or triage and emergency treatment takes place. The site where a weapon was released or where contamination occurred is called the hot zone. It is considered to be contaminated, and only those persons in the appropriate personal protective equipment may enter this zone. The cold zone is considered the safe zone. There is no green zone when working with decontamination.
