an injection of insulin. Your EMT partner also has diabetes and administers insulin injections to himself throughout the day as needed.

Given this information, which statement is true? A. Because your partner used the patient's insulin rather than his own, he cannot be reprimanded
B. It was permissible for your partner to give the insulin since he has diabetes and knows how to give the injections
C. Since the patient benefited from the insulin, your partner acted appropriately
D. Your partner violated the Scope of Practice and may have his certification revoked
