You Have Been Called to a Residence for a Spider

question 47

Multiple Choice

You have been called to a residence for a spider bite. On scene the homeowner states that he was moving some boxes in his garage when he accidentally grabbed a spider and it bit him. He killed the spider and shows you a brown-colored spider with a "violin shape" on its back. He then states that the bite does not hurt and he sees no need to go to the hospital. As a knowledgeable EMT, you should state:

• A) "Since the bite of that spider generally causes immediate pain and swelling, you probably can go without additional medical attention."
• B) "You should be okay by refusing transport, but make sure to wash the bite site daily with soap and water."
• C) "Let us take you to the hospital. They have an antivenom that will allow this to heal and make you resistant to future bites."
• D) "You really need to go because the bite of that spider does not heal very well and will put you at risk for infection."
