Which of the following would the paramedic be LEAST likely to ask the EMT to do?

  1. Apply a tourniquet

  2. Assess blood glucose

  3. Intubate a patient

  4. Obtain vital signs

The correct answer is: Apply a tourniquet

Paramedics are highly trained professionals with advanced skills and knowledge compared to EMTs. While EMTs are capable of assisting with various medical procedures, applying a tourniquet is a specialized task that is typically within the scope of practice of paramedics or higher-level healthcare providers. EMTs may assist with the application of direct pressure to control bleeding, but the decision to use a tourniquet is usually made by a paramedic or physician. Therefore, it is least likely that a paramedic would ask an EMT to apply a tourniquet. The other options, such as assessing blood glucose, intubating a patient, and obtaining vital signs, are tasks that EMTs are trained to perform under the direction of a paramedic or medical control.
