I thin the the emergency staff member that should provide the care for the client is the Emergency Medical technicians.
These are the appropriate staff who would monitor and track vital signs, perform basic wound care, and also ensure spinal immobilization, as these are basic life support interventions. The paramedics are qualified to perform advanced life support measures. The prehospital care providers on the other hand are the first care providers who help in transportation to the emergency department. Lastly the Emergency medicine physicians recicieve specialized expertise and training in emergency client management.
