Which is NOT a component of the V-FITD assessment?

• A. Vital Signs
• B. Focused Physical Exam
• C. Interventions
• D. Airway management

Answer: (D)

This question tests how the V-FITD framework organizes an EMS assessment into data collection versus actions taken. V-FITD includes four components: Vital signs, Focused physical exam, Interventions, and Transport decisions. Airway management is not a separate component because it’s an intervention—an action you perform to treat the patient—rather than a data-collection category. You use airway management as part of the Interventions by addressing breathing and airway issues, while Vital signs and the Focused exam provide the information that guides those interventions, and Transport decisions determine what happens next.
