After use of force, which set of actions should be completed?

• A. Determine injuries
• B. Render aid
• C. Request medical attention
• D. Determine injuries; render aid; request medical attention

Answer: (D)

After a use-of-force incident, you should complete three essential actions: determine injuries, render aid, and request medical attention. Determining injuries helps you identify what happened and what level of care is needed. Rendering aid provides immediate stabilization to prevent condition from worsening. Requesting medical attention ensures a professional evaluation, proper documentation, and access to treatment beyond what you can provide on scene. Taken together, these steps cover assessment, immediate care, and escalation to medical support, making them the best combined response. Focusing on only one or two of these steps can leave injuries unrecognized, care incomplete, or medical needs unaddressed.
