Question 329Deck Safety70% to pass
After sending a message describing the symptoms of an ill crew member, you receive a message containing the code MRL. What is the meaning of the message?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Commence artificial respiration immediately.
The code "MRL" stands for "medical emergency, require life-saving measures." This indicates that the crew member is in a life-threatening situation, and immediate action is required to provide emergency medical care. The appropriate response in this case is to commence artificial respiration (CPR) immediately to sustain the crew member's life until more advanced medical assistance can be provided.
The other answer choices, while potentially relevant in other medical situations, are not the appropriate response for a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate life-saving measures, as indicated by the "MRL" code.
