When transporting a patient who has not been restrained appropriately, an EMT must:

  1. ensure that the patient is lying flat on the stretcher

  2. refrain from correcting the restraint to avoid liability

  3. monitor the patient's airway continually

  4. transport the patient carefully to avoid harm

The correct answer is: monitor the patient's airway continually

When transporting a patient who has not been restrained appropriately, an EMT must monitor the patient's airway continually because inadequate or improper restraints can lead to the patient moving around during transport, potentially compromising their airway. Monitoring the airway allows the EMT to quickly address any issues and ensure the patient's ability to breathe is not compromised. This continuous assessment is crucial in maintaining the patient's safety and well-being during transportation.
