You and your EMT partner are responding to a medical aid call in the rural West County area. The dispatcher advises that the caller is reporting the patient as having a history of plegia. Why would it be beneficial to have the dispatcher clarify a prefix for the word plegia?
 
  A) A patient with plegia is potentially contagious, and the EMTs need to know what precautions are required.
  B) Without a clarifying prefix, it is difficult for the EMTs to effectively prepare for the type of patient they may encounter.
  C) Because a dysplegiac patient generally requires an EMT-Paramedic level of care, and it may change the level of response.
  D) There is actually no need to clarify the word.
