Original Question
Scenario 1 | Part 1 You are working for a private medical response company in a rural area. (e.g. Gympie) You and your partner have received a call to attend to a domestic violence dispute. You have been informed that a male has pushed a female, causing what she described to dispatch as a ‘busted ankle’. When you arrive at the residence 15 minutes later, it appears like the following picture. 1. Apart from the uneven surface, identify four (4) risks you have identified from the picture above, categorising them as physical and/or biological. 2. What are some control measures you can employ to help mitigate the four (4) risks you mentioned above? 3. Using the ‘level of risk’ guide, deduce the level of consequence and likelihood on the ‘risk of tripping hazards’ for the access and egress of the scene. Justify your response. Scenario 1 | Part 2 You and your partner decide to wait for a police escort, given the nature of the call out and scene analysis. Once police arrive you approach the scene and are greeted at the door by the accused male. He is non-threatening and informs you that his wife is in the kitchen and offers to stay with the police officer. When approaching the kitchen, you meet Jane a 52 year old female sitting at the table with her foot elevated and in obvious pain. She iss awake, aware and responsive but slightly dazed at times when responding to questions, while slurring her words ever so often. She has evidence of a wet productive cough, which she said she had for the past three weeks. You take• Jane’s vitals and record them • Blood pressure is 110/50 • Respirations, 30 and SOB at times • Pulse rapid 110 • Body temperature was high at 37.8 degrees • Oxygen Saturation Level 95% Jane’s right ankle has swelling, with tenderness on palpation of the posterior edge of the lateral and medial malleolus. She states she is unable to weight bear. She has consolidation on her left lower lobe of her lung. Nil Abdominal pain. Other observations include signs of dehydration and poor hygiene. She is a heavy drinker, with roughly nine standard drinks consumed daily. She is also a heavy smoker, consuming 1-2 packets a day. Jane informs you she does not see a regular GP and hasn’t been to one in over a year, apart from a script refill. She is taking Atorvastatin and Esomeprazole, with a medical history of Hepatitis B, type two diabetes, GORD and hyperlipaemia. She is also a social IV drug user. After completing your physical assessment in collaboration with your colleague, you determine Jane needs to be transported to the hospital. Jane agrees to be taken to the hospital and asks you for assistance getting into the vehicle. 4. Identify three (3) additional or flow on risks after completing your examination on Jane. 5. What PPE should you be wearing whilst treating Jane? In your response include the current and/or potential risk and justify your response with reference to a policy/procedure/standard 6. Given the assessment above, articulate your plan on safely transporting Jane to the vehicle. Justify your response with potential risk consequences you have identified and how your plan best mitigates these identified risks Scenario 2 You have arrived at a scene where a building has started to collapse due to a pillar crumbling. There is concrete and debris throughout the entire building and the ceiling is not secure for one side of the roof. Due to the walls collapsing, shelving has been destroyed and there is a chemical spill that is impacting the safe access and egress of your team. You receive a report that one patient is trapped and is suffering from a suspected fractured ankle. This chemical can have negative impacts on the respiratory system if inhaled and can cause burning and long term impacts to the skin and eyes if they come in contact. It has been deemed unsafe for your team to enter the building . Your partner is heading towards the rear entry of the building, while you are at the front where majority of the debris is. You can see there is no safe way to access the patient currently, as the chemical spill and structural integrity of the building is too unsafe and needs additional support before entering. 7. How and what will you communicate to your partner that you have deemed it unsafe to enter the building? 8. Who will you need to inform and maintain communication with about the decision to not enter the building according to organisational requirements? 9. Provide a statement below in first person which addresses how you will inform your supervisor and other relevant individuals identified above about the decisions to not enter the building until risk control measures are in place. 10. What additional support, resources and PPE will you require so you can eventually reach the patient and minimise risks? 11. Complete the risk matrix on the following page and determine controls mechanisms that can be put in place to reduce the risk and allow access and egress at the scene.

The bus passengers included five (5) children aged between 8-12 and a bus driver aged 68. Image transcription text D 12. What hazards and potential hazards can you identify that can impact safe access and egress? 13. Pick a hazard you have identified above, what impact would this have on a scene? 14. Explain in detail the acronyms you will need to refer to and what decisions you will make to ensure effective management of the above multi-casualty scene 15. A bystander is not listening to your direction of removing themselves from the scene so you can attend to the patient. What can you do to manage this individual so you can begin attending to the patient? 16. Explain the roles of the other emergency personnel that will be attending this scene. (Police, Fire, Paramedics/ambulance/ emergency officer, electrial support) 17. (Separate to scenario above) You have been called out to an emergency which involves multiple burn victims at an oil factory. What state or territory policies and procedures would you refer to before arriving on scene? State a minimum of three (3) that are relevant to you.
