Which drag is described as moving a responsive or unresponsive person?

• A. Blanket Drag
• B. Seated Drag
• C. Ankle Drag
• D. Shoulder Drag

Answer: (A)

Moving a person with a blanket drag works for both responsive and unresponsive individuals because it lets you relocate them without needing their cooperation and without heavy lifting, while helping protect the spine and neck. To do it, you slip a sturdy blanket under the person, grab the blanket ends, and gently pull to slide them to a safer spot. Keep the head and neck aligned and avoid twisting the body as you move. This method is ideal in emergencies when you need to remove someone from danger quickly or when you can’t safely lift them. Other drags rely more on the person’s ability to help or target specific positions (like pulling from the shoulders, ankles, or while seated), which aren’t appropriate for an unresponsive person and can increase risk.
