Common activities that occur while you and your partner are en route to the scene of an emergency call include all of the following, EXCEPT:

• A. Apprising the medical director of the nature of the call
• B. Monitoring the patient’s status
• C. Discussing the plan with your partner
• D. Checking equipment and readiness

Answer: (A)

Focusing on patient care and crew coordination is the main idea here. While en route, you actively monitor the patient’s status so you can detect any changes early and adjust treatment as needed. You also discuss the plan with your partner to ensure you’re both clear on roles and the sequence of actions once you arrive. Checking equipment and readiness is essential to make sure all tools and devices are functional and available for any potential needs. Informing the medical director about the nature of the call isn’t part of the routine en route activities. That kind of update isn’t typically done during transport; if guidance is needed, you’d contact medical control through the proper channel, and the call details are documented in the run report or communicated after the fact. So that activity is the exception, not the rule, for what happens while you’re moving to the scene.
