*scratches head*

1) An Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) approaches you and states that he is interested in becoming an EMT. Specifically, he asks what he will be able to do as an EMT that he cannot presently do as an EMR. You should respond by saying he will not: A) obtain vital signs. B) administer some medications. 
C) perform emergency childbirth. 
D) use an automated external defibrillator.



If my book has anything to say about it (which, incidently it does) an EMT will do ALL of these things. An EMR can't administer medications (maybe Epi pens?). So am I just reading this wrong and the prof is asking what on the list can the EMR not do now that he will be able to do as an EMT?
