Practice question

What should your initial responses be at the scene of an accident?

  1. Seek immediate help only
  2. Warn other drivers, contact authorities, DR ABC, stop bleeding, keep them warm, comfortable and accompanied
  3. Take photographs for evidence
  4. Leave the scene if you were not involved

Answer: B — Warn other drivers, contact authorities, DR ABC, stop bleeding, keep them warm, comfortable and accompanied

Initial responses at the scene of an accident should prioritize the safety and well-being of everyone involved. Seeking help immediately may be necessary, but it should not be the only initial response. Taking photographs for evidence may be important later, but it is not a priority in the moment. Leaving the scene if you were not involved is not a responsible or ethical action. Therefore, the best initial response to an accident would be to warn other drivers, contact authorities, administer DR ABC (drainage, airway, breathing, circulation), stop any bleeding, and keep the individuals involved warm, comfortable, and accompanied until help arrives.
