You know that the emergency services will arrive to the scene of the accident soon. Should you persuade the perpetrator to take the injured person to the hospital?

Description

Polish Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2010

Explanation

Correct answer: No

No, you should not do this. Moving an accident victim independently by people without medical qualifications is inadvisable and can cause additional, serious injuries (e.g., to the spine). You should wait with the injured person for the arrival of the emergency services, providing first aid on the spot.
