You arrive at the scene of a domestic violence situation. As you approach the doorway of the apartment, you hear screaming and the statement, "He has a gun!". Your most appropriate action should be to:

  1. continue into the apartment and apprehend the gunman

  2. continue into the apartment using extreme caution

  3. get in your ambulance and leave the scene immediately

  4. seek a safe place and request law enforcement assistance

The correct answer is: seek a safe place and request law enforcement assistance

In this scenario, when you hear someone mention that there is a gun involved, the most appropriate action as an EMT is to prioritize your safety and well-being. By seeking a safe place and requesting law enforcement assistance, you are following proper protocol to ensure your own safety as well as the safety of others involved in the situation. It is not advisable to enter the apartment or leave the scene immediately without taking necessary precautions. Therefore, option D is the correct choice in this situation.
