Question

When deploying an ECD, sensitive ECD target areas of the body to be avoided when practicable include:

a) Head
b) Throat
c) Chest/breast
d) Known pre-existing injury areas
e) All of the above

Answer 1

When deploying an ECD, sensitive areas to avoid, when possible, include the head, throat, chest/breast, and areas with pre-existing injuries. The correct answer is all of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

When deploying an Electronic Control Device (ECD), such as a Taser, there are certain sensitive areas of the body that should be avoided when practicable.

These areas include: a) the Head, due to the risk of brain injury; b) the Throat, because of the possibility of causing respiratory distress; c) the Chest/breast area, where the electrical current could potentially affect the heart rhythm; and d) any Known pre-existing injury areas, where deploying an ECD could worsen the injury. Therefore, the correct answer is e) All of the above.
