The drag named Blanket Drag is used to move a person who is what?

• A. A responsive or unresponsive person
• B. A walking patient
• C. A person who can stand
• D. A person who is in a wheelchair

Answer: (A)

Blanket drag is a quick, practical way to move a person who cannot move themselves to safety, whether they are awake and able to respond or unconscious and not able to assist. The technique uses a blanket laid under the person so you can grasp the blanket corners and pull them along without grabbing arms or legs, which makes it easier to move them with less effort and strain. It’s especially useful when space is tight, or the person is unable to walk or stand and you need to relocate them rapidly. It wouldn’t be used for someone who can walk or stand on their own, or for someone already in a wheelchair where you’d push or assist rather than drag.
