Question

question 1 of 20
which situation always warrants calling 911 when someone is injured?

a. you are alone with the injured person.

b. a bone could be broken.

c. the hospital is more than 10 miles away.

d. the injury is life - threatening.

Explanation:

To determine when to call 911 for an injury, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Being alone with an injured person doesn't always mean 911 is needed (e.g., minor injury).
• Option B: A possible broken bone may not be life - threatening and can sometimes be handled with non - emergency care or a doctor's visit.
• Option C: Distance to the hospital doesn't determine if 911 is required; minor injuries can be driven to the hospital even if it's far.
• Option D: Life - threatening injuries require immediate emergency response, so 911 should always be called.

Answer:

D. The injury is life - threatening.
