Which of the following steps is not proper procedure when performing an emergency move?

Lifting the patient by the belt to move him or her
Pulling the patient on a blanket or similar object
Pulling the patient's clothing in the shoulder area
Using a long-axis body drag during the move

The correct answer is: Lifting the patient by the belt to move him or her

Lifting the patient by the belt to move him or her is not proper procedure when performing an emergency move. The other options may be viable options when performing an emergency move, but lifting the patient by the belt can cause further injury to the patient and is not a recommended method of moving a patient. Pulling the patient on a blanket or similar object can help distribute the weight of the patient more evenly, pulling the patient's clothing in the shoulder area can be used to move the patient if they are lying on their back, and using a long-axis body drag is a common method used in emergency moves to quickly and safely move a patient.
