An EMT becomes emotionally exhausted and depressed after a traumatic incident. This is an example of:

  1. Acute Stress Reaction (ASR)

  2. Burnout

  3. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  4. Secondary traumatic stress reaction

The correct answer is: Acute Stress Reaction (ASR)

This is an example of an Acute Stress Reaction (ASR), rather than Burnout, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or Secondary traumatic stress reaction. Burnout is typically associated with chronic job stress and emotional exhaustion, while PTSD is often triggered by a specific traumatic event that causes a persistent and severe stress reaction. Secondary traumatic stress reaction is a condition that can occur in individuals who are regularly exposed to the traumatic experiences of others, such as first responders or healthcare workers, but it is not the most accurate description for the situation described in the question.
