Which of the following actions cannot lead to disciplinary action being taken against a licensee?

Turning patient care over to the same or higher level of care is considered an appropriate and responsible action within the scope of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) practice. In EMS protocols, when a provider hands over patient care to another provider who has the same or a higher level of training, they are effectively ensuring that the patient continues to receive the appropriate standard of care. This handoff is crucial in emergency situations and is a standard practice intended to maintain continuity of care.

In contrast, actions such as destroying patient care records, making false statements in an oral report, and falsifying an EMS patient record are serious violations of ethical and legal standards. These actions jeopardize patient safety, breach confidentiality, and undermine the integrity of the medical record, which is critical for ongoing patient care and legal accountability. Disciplinary actions are rightly imposed for such infractions to protect patients and uphold the standards of the profession.
