10. What is an EMT's first priority ALWAYS?: Scene safety
11. an immediate physiological and psychological reaction to a
specific event. The event triggers the body's fight or flight
response: Acute stress
12. a stress reaction that

EMT's ability to perform during the stressful event. Posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) is an example of : Delayed stress
13. the result of exposure to stressful situations over a prolonged
period of time. This leads to burnout for many EMTs.: Cumulative stress

19. When it comes to crime
scenes, EMS providers should a crime scene

may be advised to respond to the call but maintain a away
until cleared by law enforcement. This is sometimes called "staging for
