Which of the following actions is NOT part of EMD's responsibility?

The reasoning for identifying performing medical procedures over the phone as not part of the Emergency Medical Dispatcher’s (EMD) responsibilities lies in the scope and standards of EMD training and operation. EMDs are trained to guide callers through a series of questions to assess the situation and provide pre-arrival instructions, which may include basic first aid advice or general guidance, but they do not execute or perform medical procedures directly.

The role of an EMD is to ensure that emergency responders are dispatched promptly and that essential information is gathered to assist them when they arrive on the scene. This means EMDs focus on communication, emotional support, and information management, rather than taking direct medical action. Performing medical procedures typically requires clinical training that goes beyond the EMD's scope and is reserved for qualified medical personnel who are present at the scene or who can physically provide care.

By limiting the role of the EMD in this way, it ensures that emergency calls are handled efficiently while maintaining a clear distinction between the responsibilities of non-clinical dispatchers and clinical responders.
