You are enroute to a home for an 8-year-old with noisy breathing and a cough. As you respond, which of the following pieces of advice would you give your partner, a new EMT?

  C) Although most children of this age are trusting of authority, let's approach slowly and make the scene work for us.
  D) Most children in this age group have a short attention span, so we need to assess him as quickly as possible.

  A) restraints.
