Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding actions at a potential shooting scene?

The statement regarding delaying treatment until the patient's clothing has been secured for evidence is false. In emergency medical situations, the priority is to provide care to the patient to stabilize their condition and address any life-threatening injuries. The health and safety of the patient must come first, even in a chaotic environment such as a potential shooting scene.

While it is important to maintain the integrity of the scene for evidence collection, delaying treatment could jeopardize the patient's chances of survival. First responders are trained to assess and treat patients while also being aware of the need to protect evidence. In practice, responders often document the patient's condition and any evidence associated with their injuries, but they do not withhold necessary medical treatment for the sake of securing evidence. This approach ensures that the principles of emergency care align with the protocols of evidence preservation once the immediate patient needs are addressed.
