Réponse : B — B. Say letter by letter

To spell means to say each letter of a word separately, for example 'P-A-I-X' for 'Paix'.

'Help is on the way' reassures the caller that assistance is coming. The others are questions for gathering information.

4. When should you repeat back critical details to the caller?

AA. Only if the caller asks
BB. Never, it wastes time
CC. Always, to confirm accuracy
DD. Only for the address

Repeating back details like address and number of patients reduces errors and shows you are listening carefully.

'Why are you calling?' is not a standard emergency question; the focus is on what, where, who, when, and how many.

6. What is the correct order of questions in an emergency call?

AA. Nature, location, number, condition

First ask where (location), then what happened (nature), then how many patients, then their condition.
