Section B lists conditions that require what actions?

• A. patient assessment by an ALS resource, and transport by ALS or BLS ambulance based on the paramedic's clinical judgement and applicable policies
• B. immediate air transport regardless of condition
• C. no transport is required
• D. only patient refusal cases require transport

Answer: (A)

Section B defines criteria that require an ALS-level assessment and guiding transport decisions. When those conditions are present, the patient must be evaluated by an ALS resource, and transport should be arranged by an ALS or BLS ambulance based on the paramedic’s clinical judgement and the agency’s policies. This ensures the patient receives appropriate level-of-care assessment and the most suitable transport option for their condition. Immediate air transport is not mandated for all cases, and transport isn’t universally required for every patient or limited to refusals; the decision hinges on the specific conditions and the policies in place.
