Which statement indicates staying on the line while paramedics are en route?

• A. I’m sending the paramedics to help you now. Stay on the line.
• B. Do not go in the water unless it’s safe to do so
• C. Cut him down immediately and loosen the noose
• D. Loosen anything around neck

Answer: (A)

The main idea is to keep the caller connected with the dispatcher while help is on the way. The best statement both confirms that paramedics are en route and tells the caller to stay on the line, which maintains direct communication, allows for ongoing instructions, and lets the dispatcher gather updates or provide new directions as the situation evolves. This reassures the caller and ensures safety until responders arrive. Other statements either address unrelated safety steps or suggest actions that should be taken only in specific circumstances or by trained personnel, and they don’t fulfill the purpose of maintaining contact and coordination during the wait for EMS.
