Care of a victim during an accident must be consistent with _____.

The care of a victim during an accident must be consistent with your training, ability, and available resources. This ensures that the assistance provided is safe and effective. Training equips a rescuer with the necessary skills to assess the situation, perform first aid, and take appropriate action while considering their own limitations.

In emergency scenarios, responding with techniques not properly learned or using resources that are not available can exacerbate the victim's condition or put the rescuer at risk. The concept emphasizes acting within one’s competence level and following established emergency response procedures.

Furthermore, having the right resources on hand, such as first aid kits or oxygen supplies, plays a critical role in the quality of care provided. All actions should align with the knowledge and tools that a diver has been trained to use, ensuring the best possible outcome for the victim while maintaining the safety of the rescuer and any bystanders involved.
