During MOB rescue, which action helps guide the casualty toward assist crew?

• A. Guide casualty toward assist crew.
• B. Ignore the casualty and swim away.
• C. Cut the line to drop them.
• D. Throw another bag.

Answer: (A)

During MOB rescue, the key aim is a controlled handoff to trained rescuers. Guiding the casualty toward the assist crew keeps them within sight and under clear direction, so they know where to be and what to do as the rescuers approach. This helps prevent drift, panic, or entanglement and allows the assist crew to perform a safe pickup, secure the casualty, and complete the recovery efficiently.

Other actions would fail to provide proper direction or safety: ignoring the casualty leaves them without guidance; cutting the line could create danger and destabilize the rescue; throwing another bag doesn't bring the person to safety or the rescuers and could cause confusion or additional hazards.
