Choose the option that accurately lists the prep for removal.

• A. Blanket and bag; available space
• B. Gurney, backboard, and ambulance crew ready
• C. Emergency blanket or debris bag
• D. Emergency blanket or debris bag; Gurney, backboard, and ambulance crew ready

Answer: (D)

Prep for removal means protecting the patient during extraction while also making sure everything needed for transfer is ready. Using an emergency blanket or debris bag provides a protective covering to keep the patient warm and shielded from debris or contamination. At the same time, having the gurney and backboard ready and the ambulance crew prepared ensures the patient can be moved quickly and safely into transport with proper care and handoff. This combination covers both protection and logistics, which is why it’s the best choice. The other options miss either the protective covering, the transport equipment, or the crew readiness, which are all essential for a smooth removal.
