JBL EMT Practice Exam

Health care teams that infrequently train and work together:

1. are unable to accomplish their tasks

2. can create delays in patient care

3. need less-explicit verbal direction

4. often work better under pressure

The correct answer is: are unable to accomplish their tasks

Health care teams that infrequently train and work together are unable to accomplish their tasks efficiently and effectively. This is because effective teamwork in healthcare requires good communication, coordination, and trust among team members, which can be developed through regular training and working together. When a team lacks this cohesion due to infrequent collaboration, it can lead to misunderstandings, errors, inefficiencies, and ultimately hinder the team's ability to accomplish their tasks and provide optimal patient care. Options B, C, and D are not the best choices because infrequent training and collaboration do not lead to improved patient care. In fact, as discussed, they can create delays, require more explicit verbal direction, and may not necessarily make the team work better under pressure.
