JBL EMT Complete Practice Exam 2025

Question: 1 / 400

In which of the following situations does a legal duty to act clearly exist?

A bystander encounters a victim who is not breathing

A call is received 15 minutes prior to shift change

In this scenario, the correct answer is B because when a call is received 15 minutes prior to a shift change, the EMT has a legal duty to act. This is because the EMT is still on duty and responsible for responding to emergency calls until the end of their shift. It is important for EMTs to fulfill their duties and responsibilities to provide necessary medical care, even if it is close to the end of their shift.

Options A, C, and D do not clearly establish a legal duty to act as the EMT is either off duty (option D), has ended their shift (option C), or is not required to act immediately (option A).
