Ok I am a college student. I am currently premed. I am taking a course which will certify me in the above following. I am thinking of taking a EMT-B if I can find one this summer then volunteering at my local FD. I have a legal sort of question. The class covers emergencies in depth. Since I am planning on becoming EMT-B and I want to be prepared for emergencies, I ordered a Trauma kit from Gall's http://galls.com/style.html?assort=general_catalog&style=TK085
I just wanted to know if there is anything in that kit that I cannot use assuming I am certified in the above. I just don't want to use a bag mask or a neck brace if that is out of the scope of practice for the certifications I have. I went with one of the complete kits so if/when I become EMT-B I'll have a kit in my car to be able to help. I figured it was good to have since first aid/cpr skills are good to have but if you don't have the equipment with you it isn't much good.
Help is appreciated.
PS I was certified in CPR before and First AID but never recertified. We have learned about the reasonable man test and I just dont want to be found negligent if I use any items in that kit if/when there is an emergency requiring attention.
