Q

How should the equipment be positioned so that you can quickly reach urgently needed items?

A

Regularly retrieved items (BP cuff, stethoscope, oxygen masks) should be placed in a bag or “jump kit” near rear or side door so you can enter scene quickly. Infrequently used equipment can be placed inside vehicle in more secure location.
