You and your new emt partner arrive first on the scene of a single car rollover on the shoulder of a busy highway. you pull off in a safe location and just as you stop the ambulance, your partner throws the passenger door open, steps out of the truck, and begins jogging through the scattered debris toward the overturned car. you shout for him to stop and he looks back at you, but then continues to the vehicle and begins assessing the driver. later, as you are restocking in the ambulance bay of the local trauma center your partner tells you that he thinks you acted unprofessionally by shouting at him. what is the best way to respond?
a) shouting was an attempt to protect the emt from a potentially unsafe scene.
b) new emts should expect partners to yell at them occasionally.
c) the on-duty supervisor should be called.
d) an emt should never hurry to assist a patient
