QUESTION 20--What does the acronym EMT actually stand for?
Correct Incorrect The acronym EMT stands for Emergency Medical Technician, which is a person who is fully trained in triage and emergency care and intermittent treatment. That means they can diagnose a problem and begin stabilization or lifesaving procedures to hold a person until they can be placed into care at a facility. They are not just "ambulance drivers," although being able to do so safely is an important part of their training.
