Which of the following is NOT a component of the emergency move?

Dragging the patient by their clothes
Dragging the patient on a blanket or tarp
Pulling the patient along the line of the body's long axis
Stabilizing the cervical spine with both hands

The correct answer is: Dragging the patient by their clothes

In an emergency move, it is crucial to consider the safety and well-being of the patient. Dragging the patient by their clothes is not a recommended component of the emergency move as it can potentially cause further harm or injury to the patient. Instead, options B, C, and D are part of the standard protocol for performing an emergency move. - Dragging the patient on a blanket or tarp helps to minimize friction and reduce the risk of further injury. - Pulling the patient along the line of the body's long axis maintains the body's natural alignment and reduces the chance of causing additional harm. - Stabilizing the cervical spine with both hands is important to prevent any movements that could potentially exacerbate spinal injuries. Therefore, option A is the correct choice as it deviates from the proper procedure of conducting an emergency move.
