1. Which component is considered the foundation of an effective EMS system? T T T T T T T T
A. Advanced life support availability T T T
B. Public access and communication
T T T
C. Medical direction T
D. Trauma center designation T T
Correct Answer: BT T
Rationale: Public access and communication (e.g., 911) allow patients to enter the

T T T T T T T T T
A. Determine EMS budgets T T
B. Establish dispatch protocols T T
C. Ensure quality and medical oversight of patient care
T T T T T T T
D. Manage EMS personnel schedulesT T T
Correct Answer: CT T
Rationale: Medical direction provides bothonline and offline guidance to ensure
T T T T T T T T T T T
patient care meets accepted medical standards.
