A person has been injured and is responsive. You obtain consent to check the victim for life-threatening conditions. What life-threatening condition would require you to immediately summon EMS personnel?

  1. Minor cuts and scrapes

  2. Minor headache

  3. Persistent chest pain

  4. Swollen ankle

The correct answer is: Minor cuts and scrapes

In this scenario, the correct answer is C. Persistent chest pain. Persistent chest pain can be a symptom of a serious, life-threatening condition such as a heart attack. Therefore, if a person is experiencing persistent chest pain, it is crucial to immediately summon EMS personnel for further evaluation and treatment. The other options - minor cuts and scrapes, minor headache, and swollen ankle - are not typically considered life-threatening conditions that would require immediate EMS response.
