Which code would you use for a lift assist scenario?

• A. Investigation
• B. Lift Assist
• C. Mass Decon Response - UK Commonwealth Stadium
• D. Hazmat - Mercury Spill

Answer: (B)

This item tests identifying the right dispatch code for helping someone lift or move. Lift Assist is the designation used when responders are needed to physically assist a person who cannot move safely on their own, often requiring equipment or careful transfer techniques to get them from one position or location to another. It covers situations like moving someone from bed to chair, from the floor to a stretcher, or similar transfers, and typically involves coordinating with medical staff or care providers to ensure safe handling.

This fits a lift assist scenario because the focus is on providing the physical aid to lift or relocate a person, not on investigating an incident, decontaminating a large area, or handling hazardous materials. The investigation code is for determining what happened, the mass decon code is for decontamination in a large crowd or venue, and the hazmat Mercury Spill code is for hazardous material response.
