26-1 EMS Protocol Practice Test

Pediatric patients in SSV are ages what maximum?

15 or older 12 or younger 14 or less 18 or younger

Correct Answer:

14 or less

Explanation:

The concept being tested is how this system defines who counts as pediatric for specific protocols. In this SSV framework, a pediatric patient is someone fourteen years old or younger. This cutoff is used so that treatment, equipment sizing, and dosing align with pediatric guidelines, which differ from adult protocols. Once a patient is older than fourteen, adult protocols apply. So the maximum age for pediatric in SSV is fourteen years or younger.
