Which action is NOT part of the CS1 role in accident reporting and scene safety?

• A. Document facts.
• B. Alert supervisor.
• C. Administer advanced life support without certification.
• D. Obtain consent for treatment.

Answer: (C)

In accident reporting and scene safety, your duties focus on observation, communication, and coordinating care within your training. Document facts about what happened, who was involved, times, and actions taken so others have a clear record. Alert a supervisor so the proper steps and escalation can occur. Obtain consent for treatment from a parent or guardian whenever possible; if a guardian isn’t available, follow your organization’s policies on consent and emergency treatment. Administering advanced life support without certification isn’t within the CS1 scope and can put the patient at risk as well as expose you to liability—these procedures require appropriate training and credentials. In emergencies, if consent can’t be obtained, follow the established policy for implied consent and summon higher-level responders promptly.
