EMT will be least likely to experience a body substance exposure when splinting a sprained ankle.

Body substance exposure refers to the situation in which one comes into contact with the blood or body fluid of another person. Exposure is dangerous as it is one means through which infections and diseases like HIV and hepatitis C spread.

Body substance exposure is a high risk when treating patients or giving aid to accident victims, etc. It can arise from cutting of skin by a sharp object, contact with an open wound, a human bite, etc.

An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) provides emergency medical aid in life-threatening situations, and are therefore at high risk from body substance exposure.

Treating a patient with TB, assisting in childbirth, or bandaging a laceration, has a high exposure rate. In contrast, Splinting a sprained ankle is relatively safe as it does not involve blood or body fluids.

Q. During which of these situations would the EMT be least likely to experience a body substance exposure?

A. Treating a patient with TB

C. Splinting a sprained ankle.

Conflict typically appears when a group is in transition. State several forms of conflict you can expect in the types of groups

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Conflict typically appears when a group is in transition. The forms of conflict you can expect in the types of groups you will lead are misunderstandings, lies, lack of communication, lack of commitment, egotism, a sense of survival, different points of view, fear of change, uncertainty to the unknown, among other.

Often, group members are going to try to survive, trying to defend their positions and protect themselves first, instead of working for the benefits of the organization.

I would attend to these problem group members by showing solid leadership and behaving like a person that has the experience and the knowledge to confront complicated situations with no fear, instead of hiding or running away from problems.

As the leader, I am the first to show the example and my conduct has to be congruent with my words and actions so the members of the group can trust me.

Lincoln's victory in the Election of 1864 was a. supported by Northern soldiers furloughed home to support McClellan at the poll

TEA [102]

Answer:

The correct answer is b: in doubt until the great Union victories in the Battles of Atlanta and Mobile Bay

Explanation:

President Lincoln (1809-1865) was re-elected in the Election of 1864 mostly because of the great <em>Union</em> victories in the Battles of Atlanta and Mobile Bay. These two were significant blows to the <em>Confederacy</em>, and until those victories, Lincoln winning the election had been much in doubt. One of the reasons was that the <em>Civil War</em> was taking longer than expected to come to an end - but the spirit and morale in the North were lifted due to the Union victory in the two battles. This was a crucial aspect that secured the <em>re-election</em> of President Lincoln, who, on <em>November 8</em>, defeated George McClellan (1826-1885), his <em>Democratic competitor</em>, once a Union general.

This 1864 presidential election was only held only for those states which had not separated themselves from the <em>Union</em>.
