The EMT has an accurate understanding of acute abdominal pain when he states:
A) Abdominal pain is more of an emergency when the patient has a medical history related to the abdominal organs.
B) If the abdominal pain is not sharp in nature, it is most likely not a life-threatening condition.
C) Sometimes the cause of abdominal pain will be obvious, but most often the cause will not be that apparent.
D) If the patient complains of crampy' or colicky pain, the EMT should suspect that a solid organ has ruptured and is bleeding.
