the top priority of a trained lay responder is to:
∘ ensure that no one else is injured.
∘ give immediate first aid care until emergency medical services (ems) personnel take over.
∘ keep bystanders from interfering in the care of the person.
∘ get professional help to the injured or ill person as soon as possible.

Explanation:

To determine the top priority of a trained lay responder, we analyze each option:

• "Ensure that no one else is injured" is more about preventing secondary injuries, not the top priority.
• "Give immediate first aid care until EMS takes over" is part of care but not the top priority (getting professional help is more urgent).
• "Keep bystanders from interfering" is not a primary priority related to the injured person's care.
• "Get professional help to the injured or ill person as soon as possible" is the top priority because professional medical help is crucial for proper care, and activating EMS or getting help quickly is the first step in effective emergency response.

Answer:

D. Get professional help to the injured or ill person as soon as possible.
